Rebecca Shouhed watched the surveillance video in horror, as one immigration agent knocked her 79-year-old, U.S. citizen father to the ground inside his car wash business. When he got back up and went outside, two others tackled him to the pavement.
An agent can be seen barreling into her father, Rafie Ollah Shouhed, she said, "bulldozing down the hallways like a linebacker."
Under President Donald Trump's nationwide immigration crackdown federal agents are on orders to aggressively go after people they believe are in the country illegally.
The increasingly violent arrest encounters have resulted in multiple, multi-million-dollar tort claims by people – including American citizens – who say they were severely harmed or wrongfully detained during ICE operations.
