Representative Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) publicly alleged that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers used excessive force against a North Long Beach resident over the weekend, resulting in a broken arm. Garcia, who represents the district, characterized the encounter as a "brutal attack" on a U.S. citizen.

In his statement, Garcia emphasized the severity of the incident and urged the public to view the available video footage, which he described as "horrific." The lawmaker indicated that the incident is a matter of national concern rather than just a local issue. While Garcia has brought significant attention to the allegations, the report currently relies solely on his account and the referenced video. ICE has not yet provided a formal response or an alternative account of the events leading up to the injury. As of now, there is no independent confirmation regarding the specific circumstances of the interaction or the official status of the officers involved.
