"A protester was permanently blinded in their left eye after a Department of Homeland Security officer fired a nonlethal round from close range during a confrontation on Friday night, Jan. 9, outside the federal building in Santa Ana, a social justice group said on Tuesday, Jan. 13. Local members of Dare to Struggle, which bills itself as an organization that fights injustice, gathered outside the Santa Ana City Jail to speak out against actions by the DHS officers."
"One of them was arrested at Friday's confrontation, and another said they are a friend of the injured protester who spoke to him at the hospital. One group member read a statement from the injured protester, who underwent surgery after, other protesters said, he was struck by a less-than-lethal round fired by a Homeland Security officer standing a few feet away."
