Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: You've got no rights.' He secretly recorded his brutal arrest
Briefly

On 2 May, Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was pulled over with friends by highway patrol in North Palm Beach. Officers called for backup, and CBP agents arrived to detain three men, two of whom were undocumented. Video evidence captured officers using a stun gun and a chokehold, while Laynez-Ambrosio was told he had no rights. Laughter and remarks about a $30,000 bonus highlighted a concerning attitude among the officers. The incident has drawn attention to aggressive law enforcement practices and federal quotas for detaining immigrants.
During the arrest, officers in tactical gear use a stun gun on one man and put another in a chokehold while belittling the situation, saying: 'You've got no rights here. You're a migo, brother.'
The footage reveals officers joking about the incident, indicating a troubling culture among law enforcement where they express amusement over the use of force, quipping: 'You can smell that $30,000 bonus.'
