Overview
- Carvajal-Muñoz filed a federal complaint in Portland on Tuesday, and the Department of Homeland Security had no immediate comment.
- He alleges masked agents smashed his car window, pulled him from the driver’s seat, and shackled him in full restraints in downtown Portland.
- The complaint says he showed proof of lawful H-1B status valid through September 2027, yet agents drove him to an ICE office in Massachusetts and released him that night to find his own way home.
- Five officers are named as defendants, including ICE agent Jack Cory Ravenamp, with four listed as John or Jane Doe because their identities are unknown.
- The arrest occurred during the five-day “Operation Catch of the Day,” which produced about 200 arrests that advocates say mostly involved people with no criminal record, and other detainees have already won releases in court.
