'We are all human beings'
Six US citizens sue DHS for violation of their rights by ICE or Border Patrol agents
For alleged victims of false arrest, aggression and injuries, and violation of civil and constitutional rights, Cary López, Andrea Vélez, Javier Ramrez, Juan José Gutierrez, Ngel Pia, and Joel Acua filed individual lawsuits against the US government, the Department of Homeland Security, the Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE), and the Customs and Border Protection ( CBP).
Since the Supreme Court authorized racial monitoring in the Trump administration's numerous arrests, detentions, and deportations, hooded ice and CBP agents have been a source of resentment toward immigrants, especially those who reside in the country illegally and are Latino citizens of Latino descent.
The Supreme Court's "green light" to Trump's agents to commit their crimes is causing" the expat community to suffer," said attorney Luis Carrillo, who also represents the plaintiffs with his son Michael. The six persons are the victims of terrible Gestapo-style deeds, according to the statement.
The Supreme Court imposed a lower court's order in September 2025 that had previously prohibited snow from holding certain forms of mass immigration detainers in the Los Angeles area.
Judge Brett Kavanaugh defended the government's approach in a 10-page concurring opinion, arguing that obvious race could be taken into account when addressing individuals in order to determine their citizen status, implying that snow and CBP agents must submit an open letter to use racial profiling.
Carey Lopez Alvarado, 23, who was nine months pregnant when she was chained from stomach to heel by frost agents, said," I still have a hard time talking because it brings back sad memories of what happened that day when I went to pick up my father and aunt from work. "
Justice would be for [ICE and CBP officials ] to be held accountable for their actions, steps, and activities that they continue to do, according to me. Because we are humans and shouldn't be treating one another like that, let them know that what is going on is bad.
According to a long document from Pro-Publica, federal immigration officials have detained or held more than 170 Americans against their will in recent years.
Although ice is no legally required to deport Americans, many investigations have revealed that the agency has recently detained more than 170 potential citizens and falsely deported at least 70 over the course of a five-year period.
Seize him who is Latino, please.
When masked agents quickly entered a bad car dealership in the town of Montebello, Javier Ramrez, an American citizen of Hispanic descent, recalled what transpired on June 12, 2025.
Emigration entered our yard, even though it was stated that it is personal property and that they may enter for coverage reasons, he said. When I approached to leave, the first thing someone said was," Hey, where are you going? " Don't get f***ing me. Where are you originally from? ”
They threw me to the ground, slammed my leg against me, in my chest, and also in my back, as one of them said," Grab him, this is Mexican," and then turned and said," Get him. " You can see that I'm completely terrible in the face in a picture," he added. My card was in my pocket that day.
Without getting medical care, Javier spent five times in the Los Angeles Metropolitan Detention Center.
According to a previous review by the Government Accountability Office ( GAO ), it is impossible to determine the exact number of wrongful detentions, which supports the existence of hundreds of unjustified arrests and dozens of deportations.
Pro-immigrant advocate being detained by frost
Another of the plaintiffs is the pro-immigrant activist, Juan José Gutiérrez.
"The lawsuit is made not only so that the damage is restored, but so that justice is done," he said. “I am also a citizen of the United States and was arrested on November 27.”
Gutierrez was returning from Mexico City just on Thanksgiving.
"When I arrive at the airport [lax] I go to the artificial intelligence machine that is supposed to make the departure from the airport on an international flight more efficient and I am the only one who has problems with the machine to give me the green light and take the step," he said.
A customs immigration officer directed him to an individualized review, to whom he presented his U.S. passport and driver's license.
“Is there a problem?” he asked. There was no response.
Eventually a supervisor and several officers in paramilitary attire with M-16 long guns arrived.
"They turned me around, handcuffed me and took me out of the airport in the presence of all the passengers," he said. “They took me to another lounge downstairs from the airport, a very intimidating thing and then there were more immigration officers.”
"They make me take off my shoes, take off everything, take everything out of my pockets and before my insistent question why am I under arrest, why is this happening? They just told me to stay quiet," Gutierrez said.
Finally, he signed some papers about his belongings and was taken somewhere else.
He was chained to a steel bench, "for security reasons".
The immigrant leader was released until 3:00 a.m. on Friday, November 28.
"What is happening is serious," said Juan José Gutiérrez. "For me, justice is that all citizens and residents of the United States are fulfilled the promise of the constitution that we have a level playing field, that we are not discriminated against just because of how we look, how we speak whether we speak English with an accent or not, or because of the color of our skin."
Chained in the stomach
On June 8, 2025, in the city of Hawthorne, Cary López Alvarado received two calls: one from her cousin, Alberto Sandoval, and another from Brian Najera, her husband. Both were being chased by immigration agents.
“I panicked and got out of my car, tried to walk to where they were. I saw an immigration vehicle collide with the back of my husband's van. Then I saw many more vehicles circling the area and the van my husband was in,” she recalled.
The agents shouted that they would break the window and get out. Cary pointed out that they were on private property, but they refused to listen to her.
QUERY LENGTH LIMIT EXCEEDED. MAX ALLOWED QUERY : 500 CHARS
“The agent started pushing me and elbowing me. Instinctively, I hunched over to cover my abdomen, fearing it would hurt my baby. So, I almost fell; so I used my body to lean on the work truck and prevent the fall. It was at that moment that two or three other immigration agents arrived and began to pull me and wrestle with me. My cousin stepped in and said,“Hey, be careful, she's pregnant!”
But they pushed him and asked, "Do you want us to arrest you?" That's when they put the handcuffs on her back and dragged her into their vehicle.
QUERY LENGTH LIMIT EXCEEDED. MAX ALLOWED QUERY : 500 CHARS
The agents replied that they would see if that was true. She provided them with her Social Security number, identification number, the name of the hospital, the exact time and date of her birth.
“Hearing this, they adopted an astonished expression and said to me,“Well, let's check it out on the computer. ”
She was then transferred to the Department of Homeland Security and a chain was placed under her belly that linked her hands to her feet.
“They told me I was stupid, why I was doing all that, and they kept insulting me the whole time. Finally, they told me that the only reason they let me go was because I was pregnant, but to wait for a call, since they were going to file charges against me,” the plaintiff reported.
Just five days after her arrest and detention, the strong impression of the incident caused Cary López Alvarado to prematurely give birth to her daughter Ailany.
