On August 11, masked federal immigration agents surrounded a vehicle outside Arleta High School in Los Angeles, pulled the teenager from the car at gunpoint, handcuffed him for several minutes, then released him after realizing they had detained the wrong person. The claim alleges agents had no reasonable suspicion or probable cause, caused physical injury and emotional distress, and left live ammunition at the scene.
