'The pattern that we see in this case is similar to patterns we've seen in ICE arrests outside of courthouses,' one attorney said. 'They didn't identify themselves, they terrified him, they were pushing their guns at him'
The organization said agents held the man"on the ground with 3 guns pointed at him, cuffed him, illegally searched him, tried to search his phone, and accused him of having a gun."
After holding the man for 10 minutes"looking for something to justify their attack on him," the group said, all they found was a military veteran identification. "When they realized he was a military vet, they didn't let him go immediately and they kept him handcuffed," Lawson said."He suffered multiple bruises and only when their supervisor arrived did they realize they really had no reason, they were required to let him go by their supervisor."
"It's just really concerning to see ICE out on the street, grabbing somebody who's peacefully protesting before the curfew, who was doing absolutely nothing wrong," she said."The use of force also seems very troubling and the fact that he's a man of Puerto Rican descent is really concerning because it raises questions about racial profiling."
In a statement to NBC News, HSI stated:"HSI has the authority to make criminal arrests as needed. HSI Special Agents identified a person considered to be in possession of a weapon and a threat to the public safety. No arrests were made. This was not immigration related."
