Overview
- Family members say 21-year-old Kaden Rummler was blinded in one eye after a DHS-fired projectile struck his face during a Santa Ana protest, and he underwent hours of surgery for fractures and embedded fragments.
- DHS has not specified the munition used in Santa Ana, while civil-rights groups question the close-range use of so-called less-lethal projectiles that have caused serious injuries.
- Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin labeled the Santa Ana crowd “violent rioters,” reported two injured agents, and authorities said two protesters were detained as Rummler received a citation for disorderly conduct.
- In Minneapolis, DHS says an agent shot a Venezuelan man in the leg during a struggle after being attacked with a shovel, the man fled, and two other people were taken into custody.
- Protests continued in Minneapolis after the incident, with police deploying tear gas as some demonstrators confronted officers, extending unrest that began after the earlier fatal ICE shooting of Renee Good and led to heightened law-enforcement responses including National Guard mobilization in parts of Los Angeles.
