A U.S. citizen injured during a Los Angeles immigration raid has filed a $50 million federal tort claim against the\u00a0Department of Homeland Security<\/a>\u00a0(DHS) and two of its agencies for the use of \u201cexcessive force.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rafie Ollah Shouhed, 79, said he suffered from multiple broken ribs, contusions and symptoms of a traumatic brain injury after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents allegedly slammed him to the ground earlier this month.\u00a0

Agents were targeting five people from Guatemala and Mexico during the Sept. 9 operation that took place at his car wash business, according to a DHS statement shared with The Associated Press<\/a>. DHS said Shouhed was originally arrested for \u201cimpeding\u201d a federal officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat can I do for you? Can I help you?\u201d Shouhed recalled saying to the officers, according to the AP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was then thrown to the ground by three masked agents and briefly taken into custody, according to the claim. Shouhed was eventually released without charges.

\u201cThis was an outrageous and unlawful assault on a 79-year-old American citizen in his own place of business,\u201d V. James DeSimone, Shouhed\u2019s attorney, said in a statement<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFederal agents body slammed Mr. Shouhed, pinned him to the ground with a knee on his neck, ignored his pleas for medical care, and left him broken and in pain for hours. Their actions violated the Constitution, California civil rights law, and basic human decency.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sig

DHS has six months to review the claim and settle or deny before a federal lawsuit can be filed, the AP reported.

Shouhed\u2019s action comes after another Los Angeles citizen filed a $1 million claim<\/a> against DHS, ICE and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol in July following an arrest for recording a raid at a Home Depot store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

California Gov.\u00a0Gavin Newsom\u00a0<\/a>(D) has said masked ICE agents have been terrorizing local communities and on Saturday\u00a0signed a bill<\/a>\u00a0banning law enforcement officers from covering their faces. Once the law takes effect, those who do are liable to face civil penalties and a misdemeanor charge.\u00a0The Trump administration has since\u00a0ordered<\/a>\u00a0federal authorities to ignore the law, while DHS\u00a0already said<\/a>\u00a0its officials won\u2019t comply.
