A video circulating online shows a man screaming in pain while being pinned to the ground by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an arrest in Long Beach, California. The footage has prompted allegations from the man that his arm was broken during the struggle with officers.

While the video provides a visual record of the physical interaction between the agents and the individual, the specific circumstances leading up to the arrest and the official medical assessment of the man's injuries remain unconfirmed. There is currently a discrepancy between the man's claim of a broken arm and the lack of an official statement from ICE regarding the incident or the nature of the arrest. The footage captures the intensity of the physical restraint used by the agents, but it does not provide the full context of the operation or the events immediately preceding the confrontation. As of now, no independent investigation into the conduct of the agents has been publicly announced, and the agency has not provided details on the man's current status or the charges he may be facing.
