Video shows ICE agents restraining man who alleges broken arm in Long Beach

A video posted by the advocacy group StopICE.net shows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents confronting a man near 56th Street and Elm Avenue in Long Beach on Saturday morning. The footage captures the agents using a vehicle to strike the individual before pinning him to the ground, after which the man can be heard shouting for help and claiming his arm was broken.

Witnesses said the man was also tasered, and he was later transported to a hospital after Long Beach police arrived at the scene.

Sherman Austin, a representative of StopICE.net, said, "He was just riding his bike down a residential street, in his own neighborhood, and here comes ICE, speeding down the streets, going 50 mph in a residential area, kids playing, where there's families, on a Saturday."

Former Long Beach mayor and current Congressman Robert Garcia described the incident as a brutal attack on a North Long Beach resident and U.S. citizen, calling the videos "horrific" and urging broader concern.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli responded on X, stating that such incidents would be less common if targets complied with lawful commands and accusing critics of "intentionally fanning the flames and increasing danger for the community and officers."

Eyewitness News contacted the Department of Homeland Security for comment but had not received a response at the time of reporting.
