Nearly three months after 18-year-old U.S. citizen Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was wrongfully detained during a traffic stop in Florida, a video he recorded of the incident has gone viral, showing immigration agents threatening violence and joking about $30,000 bonuses tied to arrests.
The incident took place as Laynez-Ambrosio was on his way to a landscaping job in North Palm Beach with his mother and two coworkers when the vehicle was pulled over by the Florida Highway Patrol, The Guardian reported. According to Laynez-Ambrosio, the car was stopped for having too many people in the front seat. Officers later determined that two passengers were undocumented immigrants, later calling Border Patrol agents to the scene.
