Teen’s Brutal Arrest by ICE: “You Have No Rights,” Secret Recording Sparks Outrage
On May 2, 2025, a routine traffic stop involving teenager Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio and his family turned violent after Florida Highway Patrol officers called in U.S. Border Patrol agents. Video footage captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, a U.S. citizen, allegedly shows officers using excessive force, including a stun gun and chokehold, while detaining three men, two of whom are undocumented. The footage reveals officers seemingly celebrating the arrests and joking about bonuses. This incident raises concerns about the aggressive tactics used by law enforcement, particularly in light of federal quotas for immigrant arrests and an agreement between Florida and the Department of Homeland Security which allows for state troopers to arrest and detain immigrants.
