Horror moment immigration cops handcuff disabled boy sitting in car with his nan

Horrifying video captures the moment armed American Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers detained a 15-year-old disabled student who was sitting in a parked car with his grandma over a case of ‘mistaken identity’.

Immigration officers approached the car with drawn guns at the disabled teenager who was waiting to take part in a school orientation at Arleta High School in Los Angeles at 9.30am on Monday - just days after schools in LA went back to class after summer break.

The special needs boy was waiting in the car with his elderly grandmother, waiting for his family member to return from registering for classes. It comes as Donald Trump recently reignited his feud with Sadiq Khan in front of Keir Starmer, with a savage jibe at the London Mayor.

Insisting they were not from ICE, the officers began surrounding the vehicle before getting the innocent teenager into handcuffs. Despite their insistence, video footage reviewed by the district claims to show both police and border patrol officers at the scene.

The moment of madness finally came to an end when staff from the school, along with an LA police officer, intervened. Speaking at a news conference, superintendent Alberto Carvalho stressed how serious the incident had been. He said: “The release will not release him from what he experienced.

“The trauma will linger. It will not cease. It is unacceptable, not only in our community, but anywhere in America. As our students return to school, we are calling on every community partner to help ensure that classrooms remain places of learning and belonging,

“Children have been through enough - from the pandemic to natural disasters. They should not have to carry the added weight of fear when walking through their school gates.”

After the incident, parents of non-white children in the school district are understandably concerned - with worries that ICE are targeting people regardless of their actual immigration status.

Speaking to KTLA, one worried local parent, Yvonne, said: “He fits that category. Where he's on the darker side, and I feel like that's who they're attacking… that's the main reason I tell him you better be careful and you don't go with anybody. We shouldn't be going through this.”

After the incident, local mayor Karen Bass held a press conference with a pretty damning tone. She said: “We are gathered here today to talk about protecting our children from the federal government. This is a profound moment… the fact that we even need a press conference to talk about strategies for how we protect our kids.”

A LA school district board member agreed that mind-blowing scenes of “violently detaining a child” are “absolutely reprehensible and should have no place in our country,”.

The frightening scenes come as a result of Trump's “One Big Beautiful Bill”, which granted $170 billion to ICE and is rumoured to have set the department's quotas of 1,200 to 1,500 arrests every single day.

Because of their outlandish tactics, LA schools have rerouted bus stops, sent 1,000 office staff to assist in school zones and even offered online learning for those fearing arrest if they go to school. Deployed 1,000 central office staff to assist in school zones and increased online learning options for those too scared to leave their houses.
