A 79-year-old Los Angeles car wash owner, Rafie Ollah Shouhed, has filed a $50 million federal claim against immigration agents. He alleges he was violently body-slammed, suffered broken ribs, elbow injuries, and a traumatic brain injury during a raid at his Van Nuys business. The claim states agents detained him for nearly 12 hours without medical attention, despite him being identified as a U.S. citizen. His attorneys cite assault, battery, and civil rights violations, calling the incident an "outrageous and unlawful assault."
