The teenager, a US citizen with disabilities, was in a vehicle with his mother outside Arleta high school in Los Angeles on 11 August when masked immigration agents surrounded them and pulled them from the vehicle. They said the boy was a suspect in a crime, and handcuffed him for several minutes until they realized they had the wrong person, the Los Angeles Times reported.
…
The claim, filed by the Carrillo law firm on behalf of the boy and his mother, alleges that Ice and Border Patrol agents had no reasonable suspicion or probable cause to detain the boy and caused him physical injury and emotional distress. He is traumatized and depressed, his mother said to media.
The agents “racially profiled [the teen] while he was merely sitting his car waiting for his family member”, the claim states. It also alleges the agents left live bullet rounds on the scene in an act of “clear negligence”.
Wait, how is this sarcasm?
This isn’t sarcasm, this is a news article…
Yeah, replied to OP instead of another comment. Whoops. New lemmy client, who dis…
Lemmy is actually easier to get right than reddit IMO. That has to be sarcasm though, right? I guess the tone was sarcasm but the things were real? I can never tell anymore. I was always so bad at remembering to even put the /s I got banned from reddit long ago for I thought clearly sarcastic statements. I forget you can’t imply things by text though, so… Yeah.
