Overview
- Footage from Durango, Colorado, shows an agent grabbing 57-year-old Francy Stagi and throwing her to the ground during a protest outside an ICE office.
- Separate videos from Melrose Park in the Chicago area show Ricardo Rodríguez pinned by ICE agents and later taken to a hospital with a bloody face under federal custody.
- DHS says Rodríguez has prior convictions, fled on foot, resisted arrest, was pepper-sprayed, and was punched as a last resort, a version disputed by his family.
- Relatives say Rodríguez has no criminal record and describe the force used as excessive, intensifying calls for an investigation.
- In Durango, paramedics and police responded, but the victim says no formal report was completed and the agent has not been publicly identified or disciplined.
