Rafie Ollah Shouhed, 79, suffered multiple broken ribs, elbow injuries and a traumatic brain injury during the Sept. 9 incident, according to the federal tort claim filed by his attorneys.
According to his claim, when Shouhed attempted to show agents proof of his employees’ work authorization, agents “cursed at him” and “violently body-slammed him onto the pavement.” Three agents then allegedly pinned him down, with one placing a knee on his neck, the claim stated.
“You don’t f— with ICE. We are here,” agents responded, according to the claim.
He won’t win. You almost never win against the feds. The courts repeatedly ruled they’re immune from almost any civil shot. Worth a try though.

The problem is that the government steps in and takes the liability of the individual. This means that bad actors are never held to account as individuals.
