Federal immigration officers opened fire during a traffic stop in San Bernardino, California, involving a family, according to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The incident occurred when the driver attempted to flee from the agents, prompting them to discharge their weapons. Video footage shows Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers firing at the vehicle during the enforcement operation. One of the men involved is a longtime legal resident seeking U.S. citizenship. Subsequent reports revealed that one individual detained during the operation has a criminal history including burglary, robbery, vehicle theft, and grand theft, and was later arrested on child sex charges. The man had entered the U.S. illegally multiple times. The case has drawn attention due to conflicting narratives about the individuals involved. Additionally, separate immigration enforcement actions included the detention of a Colombian TikTok user during a live broadcast and the arrest of an Ecuadorian official known for combating drug trafficking.
