Long Beach officials are demanding an investigation into federal immigration agents after Ricardo Gonzalez, a US citizen, was found handcuffed and bleeding during a confrontation in the city. Videos of the incident show him pinned face down on the street as he repeatedly calls for help, but the circumstances leading up to the detention remain unclear.
Ricardo Gonzalez, a former city employee and father, was injured during the encounter on Saturday, 17 October. Long Beach Mayor Rex Richardson has filed a formal complaint with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), seeking answers about the force used against Gonzalez and the medical assistance he received.
