The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday released footage of agents arresting Christian Damian Cerno-Camacho, a Los Angeles rioter accused of punching a Border Patrol agent.
Before DHS released the footage, agents were accused by the leftist media of assaulting the driver of a vehicle with a deadly weapon and hit-and-run after ICE agents “fled the scene.” Local police apparently investigated the incident.
Newsweek reported,
Authorities are investigating a Wednesday morning crash in Los Angeles’ Boyle Heights neighborhood as a possible assault with a deadly weapon involving federal agents who allegedly fled the scene, according to KABC.
Many details about the incident remained unreleased to the public as of Wednesday afternoon. Police have not confirmed which agency the involved agents represent or whether their presence in Los Angeles has anything to do with the ongoing protests over President Donald Trump‘s immigration policy.
The incident occurred around 10:47 a.m. local time in the 3700 block of Whittier Boulevard, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department told KABC. No serious injuries were reported.
Local ABC7 parroted the narrative that ICE agents were involved in the “accident” and “fled the scene” on live TV.
