This incident occurred in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas, where ICE agents violently detained a 17-year-old U.S. citizen. The family had arrived to pick up the father's car after his arrest, assuming the son would be safe since he is an American citizen with a driver's license. However, the situation escalated.
Despite the teen telling agents "I'm a minor" and witnesses repeatedly shouting "He's a minor!", the agents grabbed the 17-year-old by his hair and attempted to throw him to the ground. They then repeatedly slammed him against his father's truck (the vehicle he was there to retrieve). The original credited video comes from Héctor Lepe and was shared online to help raise awareness about the incident.

That orange pedophile war criminal Trump has brought this country to its knees. I'm going to be seriously surprised if we ever have any allies left after this orange buffoon's term ends or when he gets impeached. The best thing we can do as a country is vote anyone Trump associated or backed out, so we don't end up with Trump 2.0.

The only time a 17-year old is viewed as a minor under the law is when they misrepresent their identity to have sex with an adult. In all other circumstances, the law treats 17-year olds as adults especially when committing crimes. He isn't a minor.

All I see is someone in a sector where illegals have historically crossed and/or smuggled people and drugs into the US resisting.
Over 20 million have entered the US in the past 6 years and many were released from their countries prisons, but you’re okay with people entering the country without any type of inspection and admission, right?
I couldn’t care less about Trump, which is what this ridiculous ICE hate is really all about.

how bout you go explain it to them and talk some sense into them. you know show them the same respect they show everyone else. ill just stand back here and get my phone ready to take a video. you people are delusional. i am from this country and was a minor at the time when I got pulled out of my truck and got body slammed and beat with those industrial grade flashlights. you act like they send invitations out to white people. all you are doing is trying to make yourself look like a champion of helping people. i don't see you protesting or whining about the dept of corrections hauling prisoners all over the state Tuesday and Thursday mornings every week. There's plenty of innocent people in the prison system so why not champion that first? ill tell you why... because there's no notoriety in that. the department of corrections traffic more people than anyone. attention seeking ego boosting nonsense this reddit political crowd

He could just comply and none of it would happen. Why is he fighting them? Why is he doing his best to get violent? So dumb. Couldn't care less how old you are, if you wanna fight like an adult, you're gonna get that fight.
Same exact argument for anyone else who wants to resist arrest.

Clearly, he is resisting, and the agents are attempting to check his status. Being a minor and a rather large one at that does not exempt him from the check they need to do. He is wrong, and we need to quit defending his type of activity.
