Overview

• Rafie Ollah Shouhed filed a federal civil-rights suit alleging violent restraint, serious injuries and deliberate indifference to his medical needs during a Sept. 9 immigration operation at his Los Angeles business.
• DHS says Border Patrol ran a focused enforcement action that detained five people from Guatemala and Mexico and asserts the owner was arrested for assaulting and obstructing an agent.
• Shouhed and his lawyers say he suffered fractured ribs, an elbow injury, bruising and a traumatic brain injury, and that he warned agents about a recent heart surgery while requesting medical attention.
• CNN-obtained surveillance footage shows Shouhed fall to the ground twice and appear to be grabbed by agents, corroborating parts of his account of the encounter.
• He was held about 12 hours, had his U.S. citizenship confirmed at a detention facility and was released without criminal charges, according to his attorney.
