Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest
This story from The Guardian includes a chilling video. On May 2, teenager Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was driving to his landscaping job in North Palm Beach with his mother and two male friends when they were pulled over by the Florida highway patrol. The traffic stop turned into a violent arrest.
“Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men, two of whom are undocumented. They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: `You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.’ Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use `funny’ and quipping: `You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.’”
