Congressman calls for investigation after US citizen detained by ICE
Federal immigration agents forcibly detained an American citizen in New York City in early May, prompting a Democratic congressman to call for an investigation into the incident.Surveillance and cell phone footage published by multiple news outlets captured the May 6 incident when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had their weapons drawn and brought Jeury Concepcion down to the ground, detaining him in the Bronx. The incident again raised questions about U.S. citizens detained by ICE during the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement actions across the country.
Concepcion told NBC New York he was on the way to get a haircut when multiple masked ICE agents followed him, then three agents forced him onto the sidewalk. Cellphone video showed officers handcuffing and pressing him against an unmarked sedan, with his forehead bloodied.
