The bystander was not taken into custody; the detained man cried out in pain as agents lifted him. DHS did not immediately respond to requests for comment.\n\nThe incident is part of intensifying scrutiny of ICE tactics. Viral videos of immigration arrests — including a Long Beach U.S. citizen injured during an ICE operation — have sparked indignation. A Wall Street Journal investigation found 13 instances since July of federal immigration agents firing at civilian vehicles, leaving at least eight people shot and two dead.\n\nVideo from North Hollywood shows masked ICE agents pointing a handgun at a bystander walking his dogs and shoving him into hedges while arresting another man; the bystander was not taken into custody.
