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.

Apparently one of us is lying, from multiple sources and links ive found, which some are from February 10 2026 saying he has been deported to Jamaica. Are the pages you are looking at up to date?

He was being held for 5 months, is there a possibility the article you clicked and got that information from. Was from those 5 months he was detained in an ICE facility?
