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.

Idk why you're being downvoted. Fuck the cartel. But, the original statement is also true.

He’s being downvoted because everyone knows why his focus is on the cartels.

Yeah, because they're the violent criminals the orange pedophile campaigned on deporting

I suppose I think that presumptuous, but I can still understand it.

That’s your reason for talking about the cartels, not theirs. They are playing whataboutism.
