ICE violently arrested a US citizen and filmed it 'like a documentary', videos reveal
Christian Cerna, 28, was driving with his partner and their two young children through Los Angeles, when two vehicles rammed his car and a group of men jumped out and trained their guns on them.
It was 11 June 2025, and as Cerna exited his vehicle with his hands raised, he realized the masked men weren’t street criminals as he initially feared. They were Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
Cerna, a carpenter, is a US citizen and southern California native. But ICE was targeting him after a border agent reported that Cerna had “assaulted” him during a rowdy anti-ICE protest days earlier. The officers arresting Cerna detonated flash-bang grenades and pointed assault rifles at his car, with his infant and toddler inside.
The agents, court records show, were also filming high-quality footage of the arrest operation, which they would later post to social media.
The tactics, a federal judge later said, were part of ICE’s “vindictive effort” to “impose extrajudicial punishment”.
