79-year-old US citizen claims ICE agents body-slammed him at his business, seeks $50M
Surveillance video shows agents shoving business owner to the ground.An elderly Los Angeles business owner has filed a $50 million federal administrative claim alleging he was body-slammed and detained by federal immigration agents during a raid at his Van Nuys car wash earlier this month.
Rafie Ollah Shouhed, 79, suffered multiple broken ribs, elbow injuries and a traumatic brain injury during the Sept. 9 incident, according to the federal tort claim filed by his attorneys.
According to his claim, when Shouhed attempted to show agents proof of his employees' work authorization, agents "cursed at him" and "violently body-slammed him onto the pavement." Three agents then allegedly pinned him down, with one placing a knee on his neck, the claim stated.
