Los Angeles – A 79 -year -old man in southern California filed a lawsuit against the federal government on Thursday for $ 50 million as compensation, saying that federal agents violated his civil rights when they dealt with him during a September 9 migration raid in the car washing company.

The claim was submitted against the US Department of Internal Security, Immigration and Customs, Customs Protection and Borders.
In a statement, a spokesman for the Ministry of National Security said that the authorities arrested five people from Guatemala and Mexico “who broke the immigration laws in our nation” from washing cars and that he “hindered the operation and was arrested on charges of assaulting it and disabilities of a federal officer.”

He said he wanted to tell the agents that he had documents to show that his employees are qualified to work. There is no sound on observation clips.
“This is the way the ice works in our society,” Disimon said. “They use physical strength, and do not speak to people to make sure of those there in order to do their job. Instead, they immediately resort to strength.”
After the arrest of Rheid, he said he showed an officer at the detention center. He was detained for 12 hours and released without charges, the claim says.
