Citizen recorded an immigration arrest. Officers told him to delete it or else

9 months ago

Immigration officers in Florida used chokeholds and a stun gun during an arrest of undocumented immigrants.
Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old U.S. citizen, recorded the incident and was threatened with charges for refusing to delete the footage.
The video captured officers using aggressive tactics, including chokeholds and a stun gun, and later joking about the incident.
Laynez-Ambrosio was charged with obstruction without violence and sentenced to community service and anger management.
The Trump administration has increased immigration enforcement, setting quotas and allocating $75 billion to boost detention capacity and arrests.
Critics warn that quotas and aggressive tactics risk violating constitutional rights and enabling abuse of power.
