"Felt like I was going to pass out and die": Immigration agents are using banned chokeholds

[FrostNestX]

omg what kinda sick stuff is this? i mean i know immigration agents are supposed to be enforcing laws and all that, but putting civilians in chokeholds like they're in a WWE match? it's just crazy! i feel so bad for the 16-year-old kid who got choked in Houston, poor dude . and what about the woman who passed out from being kneed into her neck? that's just brutal . experts say these tactics can cause serious brain damage and even death, like, milliseconds of interrupted blood flow can be super bad for you . i don't get why some agents would do this even when it's forbidden, like what's the point? .

I'm getting so frustrated with what's going on here... These immigration agents are supposed to be enforcing laws not putting innocent lives at risk . Using chokeholds is literally barbaric, and they know it's banned since 2023! The fact that these tactics can cause strokes, seizures, brain damage, and even death makes me shudder . It's like they're above the law, and experts are saying that accountability is majorly lacking .

I mean, what's going on in California and Illinois with the new laws trying to hold federal immigration officers accountable? We need real change here . And what about the families of those who were affected by these agents' actions? They deserve answers . The Houston Police Department is literally stonewalling them, which is unacceptable .

It's not like we're talking about some rogue cop; it's a federal agency that's supposed to be upholding justice . We need more transparency and consequences for those who break the rules . This whole thing needs to be addressed ASAP

omg this is so sad what's going on with those immigration agents?! they're literally putting people's lives at risk and nobody's holding them accountable ! i mean, we know these tactics are banned since 2023 but it looks like some agents just don't care about the rules or human life . like what's next? those red welts on that teenager's neck?! that sounds so painful and traumatic for his family... we need to make sure these officers are held accountable for their actions, no matter how small it seems !

man this is crazy what are we even doing here? these agents are supposed to be protecting us and yet they're putting civilians lives at risk with these chokeholds it's insane that they're still using them despite being banned since 2023...

i mean, come on experts say that even milliseconds of interrupted blood flow can cause strokes seizures brain damage... what kinda risk is that for just following some rules? the department of homeland security has a use-of-force policy that clearly states carotid restraints are prohibited but still they're doing it and no one's holding them accountable

i think its time we start questioning who's really in charge here. these agents need to be held responsible for their actions... or else what's next? are we gonna see more people getting hurt because some dude with a badge thinks he can just do whatever he wants?

the fact that the houston police department isn't even interviewing the family of the 16-year-old who was choked by an agent is just another example of how out of touch these agencies are

anyway... it's about time we start speaking up and demanding change

I gotta disagree with all these experts and officials tryin' to say that immigration agents are doin' wrong by usin' chokeholds. I mean, think about it - they're dealin' with people who might be resistin', yellin', even gettin' physical... you can't expect them to handle every situation with finesse!
And what's the alternative? Just stand back and let 'em go? That's just gonna encourage more chaos. I mean, I've seen some crazy stuff on the news - protesters blockin' roads, vandalizin' property... you gotta take a hard stance sometimes.
And another thing - what about national security? We can't have people just waltzin' across borders without bein' checked. It's not that hard to see the big picture here.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for accountability and stuff, but we need to put things in perspective too. These agents are doin' their job, even if it means makin' some tough calls.

omg this is just insane they're literally putting people's lives in danger and it's like completely unacceptable how can you be allowed to use these techniques on ppl even when there's a ban? experts say it can cause serious brain damage and seizures, like what even is the point of doing that?! it's so not worth risking someone's life. i mean, i get that they're just doing their job, but come on, can't we find a way to do this without putting ppl in harm's way?
