The child has his hands in the air. An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him

The kid does has his hands in the air when attack by ICE




Jesus Freakin Congress
@TheJFreakinC
🚨BREAKING: ICE/Border Patrol are now pistol-whipping 16-year-olds and smashing their heads into the curb.

In the video, an agent illegally tries to detain an unaccompanied minor, in Long Beach, California.

The child has his hands in the air.

An agent runs up and hits him in the head with a pistol. Then two agents tackle him and force his head down against the curb.

After the child is already on the ground, pinned by two armed adults, another agent brings out a K9, for what reason exactly?

Then one agent puts his knee on the child’s neck while another handcuffs him, even though he’s not resisting at all.

Unaccompanied minors are supposed to be handled through child-welfare procedures, not slammed into concrete by armed agents.

Using a gun as a weapon is deadly force. You don’t get to use deadly force on a child who is standing still with his hands up. And putting a knee on someone’s neck while they’re restrained is a textbook violation of use-of-force rules and basic constitutional rights.

ICE/Border Patrol agents are brutalizing people for sport, they are executing people because they can, trafficking children, and if they aren’t stopped no one will be safe.

When he dies after several years and goes to hell, he learns the only medical treatment available is to have rats gnaw the tumors out.

It happened at the corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Cedar Avenue in the city of Lynwood at 2:55 pm on 1/30/2026.
This statement by a Lynwood Council Member acknowledged the "disturbing" video but says that what appeared to be federal agents were actually Anaheim Police who ended up there; the Sheriff was not involved in the operation and came up to it after the fact.
https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUKVdtckU0Y/

The city of Lynwood does not have its own independent police department. Instead, law enforcement services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

It is odd that Anaheim PD, which is in Orange County, would be in Lynwood, which is Los Angeles County. Anaheim PD has a lot of police excessive use of force complaints against it.

He says that ICE wasn't involved and that the LA Sheriff's Dept. didn't show up until the end of the operation.

I''m taking this with a big grain of salt, but it seems to make more sense than most of the speculation I've read about the incident. At least it would account for what looks like "Anaheim" on the uniforms.

You should really unfollow that Twitter propaganda spreader.

Those are Anaheim (city in Orange County, CA) Police Dep't officers operating in Long Beach (read their patch on back)

Doesn't it bother you that the "source" values clicks and follows more than truth?

And by bringing it to DU... 205+ more people were deceived?

85. Anaheim PD was involved in several arrests in Long beach in January breaking up a child smuggling ring

But it appears the video in question was a 17yo wanted for felony arrest warrants re: burglary leading to a 9 car crash?, evading and fighting with police.

84. Several people in this thread have pointed out it's Anaheim PD. But the video is real.

And they're not operating in Long Beach. They made that arrest in Lynwood.

Seems weird that Anaheim PD would be in LA County. You'd think if Anaheim PD had taken down a child trafficking ring two days ago, they would have postd a press release about the arrest. Nothing is on their website, where they brag about arrests. https://pd.anaheim.net/m/newsflash/home/detail/23

Please drop a link to where you heard that this suspect was in a child smuggling ring. Thanks in advance.

But turns out the video is of a 17yo felony arrest warrant evading arrest for a smash and grab burglary last week

Since Anaheim PD has recently been working in LB busting up a child smuggling ring, their presence in LA County isn't unusual... in fact, LA County Sheriffs Dep't were providing security for the arrest operation of the perp for the felony warrant.

So them being in LA County isn't strange, even if THIS arrest was for a felony smash and grab that led to traffic collision and evading arrest.

And no, the LA County Sheriff was NOT involved in this arrest. It came upon it after the fact, as emphatically stated by a Lynwood City Council Member. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DUKVdtckU0Y/

City of Lynwood does not have its own independent police department. Instead, law enforcement services are provided by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department. It appears the Sheriff saw the commotion and stopped to control the (rightfully) enraged crowd.

The Sheriff came upon it after Anaheim PD got there at that intersection. The Anaheim PD operation was in no way coordinated with the LA County Sheriff's Department, as the Council Member made clear.

Again, please provide the link where you read that Anaheim PD was working all January in Long Beach on a child smuggling ring.

Anaheim police appears to pistol-whip a teen suspect linked to smash-and-grab

Police said the juvenile was an outstanding suspect in the smash-and grab robbery of a jewelry store that had ended in two car crashes in Anaheim on Jan. 23.

By Helen Jeong • Published 14 minutes ago • Updated 6 minutes ago

The Anaheim Police Department said Sunday that it will launch an internal, use-of-force investigation after an officer was seen in a cellphone video, appearing to strike a suspect with his firearm.

The video that has circulated on social media shows a suspect in dark clothing appearing to try evading an arrest in Lynwood while an officer with the Anaheim police vest chases him.

When the suspect finally puts his hands up, the video shows, the officer appears to pistol-whip the suspect in the head as another officer runs over to tackle him. The footage does not show what happened prior to the arrest.

The suspect, who says he’s 16 years old in the video, appears to have his face covered with blood.

A chaotic robbery at an Orange County jewelry store was the start of a violent rampage that included high-speed getaways as the thieves tried to get away with $750,000 worth of stolen jewels.

FULLERTON, Calif. -- A chaotic smash-and-grab robbery at a jewelry store in Orange County Friday was the start of a violent rampage that included high-speed getaways and crashes.

Surveillance footage captured thieves rushing into Classic Jewelers in Anaheim Hills after they crashed an SUV through the front door of the business. They're caught on video smashing glass cases, grabbing jewelry and escaping in getaway cars.

Owner Ramzy Tabello said about eight suspects, wearing ski masks and hoodies, caused terror in his store using hammers and crowbars.

"I said, 'I have a gun, get out. I have a gun.' They saw my gun on the counter. They grabbed it," Tabello said.
