Video Shows ICE Detain Wrong Man in Bronx, Family Says He Was Bloodied

The case is sharpening calls to use New York's new law that lets people sue officials for constitutional violations.

Overview

  • Cellphone video shows three ICE agents tackling and handcuffing 19-year-old Jeury Concepcion outside a Bronx bodega as he says they have the wrong person.
  • Concepcion and his grandmother say agents checked his phone and ID, realized the mistake, released him, and left him at a park far from home.
  • He received several stitches at a hospital, and he told a local outlet he also suffered a concussion.
  • CBS News says the Department of Homeland Security and ICE did not respond to requests for comment.
  • New York’s new budget creates a path to sue government officials, including ICE officers, over rights violations, which could influence how Concepcion’s family seeks accountability.
