"After an ICE agent opened fire in South L.A., the Trump administration blamed "sanctuary" policies and activists - but critics say ICE's tactics created the danger. ICE has detained at least 170 U.S. citizens in 2025 and cut training to 48 days while expanding its ranks nationwide. Body camera footage and court records show ICE agents lying about incidents and detaining U.S. citizens, contradicting claims the agency operates professionally."
"Federal agents boxed in the Toyota Camry of local TikToker Carlitos Ricardo Parias - better known to his hundreds of thousands of followers as Richard LA. As Parias allegedly tried to rev his way out of the trap, an ICE agent opened fire. One bullet hit the 44-year-old Mexican immigrant - and another ricocheted into the hand of a deputy U.S. marshal. Neither suffered life-threatening injuries."
Federal immigration agents boxed in a local TikToker's car in South Los Angeles and an ICE agent opened fire, striking a Mexican immigrant and ricocheting into a deputy U.S. marshal; neither sustained life-threatening injuries. The Trump administration blamed sanctuary politicians and activists for the incident. ICE reportedly detained at least 170 U.S. citizens in 2025, reduced training to 48 days while expanding its ranks, and deployed forces across multiple cities where operations have caused injuries. Body camera footage and court records show agents lying about incidents and detaining U.S. citizens, calling the agency's professionalism into question.
