  "account": "Two teenagers from Texas claim they were assaulted and detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents during an immigration raid in Alamo, on September 11. The 17-year-olds, who are U.S. citizens, were recorded stopping to observe the enforcement action. One boy was handcuffed on the ground, while his friend was allegedly assaulted. Footage shows an agent hitting one of the boys four times and agents deploying pepper spray. Luis Ochoa, who cannot be reached for comment, said agents also broke his wrist. Ochoa's mother, Teresa Ochoa, expressed concern over her son's traumatic experience. DHS described the teenagers as anti-ICE agitators who obstructed federal agents, and said any violence toward ICE officers would result in arrest and prosecution. Texas Representative Henry Cuellar expressed concern over the footage and called for an immediate investigation.",
  "summary": "Video appeared to show one agent beating one of the two young men detained in Alamo September 11 during an enforcement operation.",
