Brooklyn ICE protest: Immigrant man had been violently pulled from car by feds hours before hospital chaos | amNewYork
"The footage that NYIC provided showed the man whom the federal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has identified as Chidozie Wilson Okeke screaming for mercy as several federal agents pulled him from the car earlier that day."
"I need to talk to my lawyer, he yelled over and over again as a masked federal officer pointed a taser at him. Somebody help me!"
"The detained man continued to frantically scream as he was pulled from the vehicle and handcuffed on the ground, with one of the agents placing a knee on him."
"An investigation is underway Sunday after chaos erupted outside a hospital in Brooklyn late on Saturday night when masked ICE agents brought a man there after arresting him in an apparent enforcement operation."
ICE agents arrested Chidozie Wilson Okeke in Brooklyn, leading to chaos outside Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. The incident occurred when agents brought Okeke, who was injured, to the hospital. Protesters gathered in response to the arrest, resulting in injuries among both demonstrators and police. Footage showed Okeke pleading for help as he was forcibly removed from a car and later from the hospital. The reasons for his arrest remain unclear, prompting an investigation into the incident.
