U.S. Citizen Rafie Ollah Shouhed, the 79-year-old car wash owner in Van Nuys, California, was attacked, injured,
detained for 12 hours and never charged with a crime. Shouhed has filed a $50 million tort claim alleging “illegal and unlawful assault and battery. The $50 million suit names the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, the Border Patrol, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
“ 'The only thing that those ICE agents said to him, as three of them piled on top of him….They said, ‘You don’t f*** with ICE,” civil rights attorney V. James DeSimone, who is representing Shouhed, said during a Thursday press conference."
