An elderly U.S. citizen, Rafie Shouhed, has announced plans to file a $50 million damages claim against the government following a violent encounter with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during a raid at his Los Angeles car wash. Surveillance footage captured the 79-year-old being forcefully subdued by masked, heavily armed agents, who detained him for nearly 12 hours without providing medical attention despite his pleas about a pre-existing heart condition. Shouhed, who immigrated to the U.S. from Iran in the 1980s, described the incident as unprovoked and brutal, stating that agents ignored his medical concerns and only warned him, ‘You do not F with ICE.’ The raid, part of President Donald Trump’s intensified crackdown on undocumented migrants, has sparked controversy, particularly in Los Angeles, where critics argue such operations disproportionately target individuals based on ethnicity or workplace. Shouhed, a Trump voter, sustained broken ribs, severe elbow injuries, and a traumatic brain injury during the incident. His attorneys argue that the agents’ excessive force and disregard for his rights warrant legal action. The Department of Homeland Security defended the raid, claiming it led to the arrest of five undocumented immigrants and that Shouhed was detained for allegedly impeding federal officers. However, Shouhed’s lawyer, Jim Desimone, countered that surveillance video shows his client was cooperative and questioned the necessity of such aggressive tactics.
