A 79-year-old man in Southern California has filed a $50 million claim against the federal government, alleging civil rights violations during an immigration raid. Rafie Ollah Shouhed, a naturalized U.S. citizen from Iran, claims federal agents tackled him at his Los Angeles car wash on Sept. 9, causing serious injuries. Video footage shows Shouhed being knocked down by an officer. The Department of Homeland Security states Shouhed impeded the operation and was arrested for assaulting an officer. Shouhed denies these accusations and says he was trying to show documents proving his employees’ eligibility to work.
