A Van Nuys car wash owner, a U.S. citizen, has filed a $50 million claim against federal immigration authorities. He alleges excessive force and civil rights violations during an immigration raid on September 9th. The owner claims agents injured him and ignored his medical condition post-heart surgery. Federal authorities state the operation led to five arrests and that the owner impeded officers, resulting in his arrest. His attorney denies these allegations, stating the owner was trying to provide information about employee documentation and was wrongly assaulted.
