The Dept. of Homeland safety is responding, after a Bronx man says he was injured throughout what he describes as a case of mistaken identification involving immigration brokers in Norwood.
Jeury Concepcion informed NBC New York he suffered a concussion and wanted stitches after ICE brokers all of the sudden confronted him on Wednesday.
Concepcion says the brokers had their weapons drawn and that they didn’t determine themselves in the course of the encounter. “They didn’t wish to discuss to me. They wish to kill me,” he informed Information 4 this week.
“They didn’t determine themselves as ICE,” he added. “They grabbed me and threw me on the ground and began hurting me.”
In an announcement to NBC New York, DHS says ICE was conducting a focused enforcement operation after they noticed somebody who matched the bodily description of the particular person they have been in search of, outdoors of that particular person's residence.In reference to Concepcion, the DHS said, "When regulation enforcement approached the person, he grew to become combative and refused to determine himself."The company additionally says a crowd of so-called “anti-ice agitators” swarmed officers, forcing them to take the person away to a secure place to complete the questioning. DHS says Concepcion was then promptly launched. The assertion provides that he was not arrested, and that DHS isn’t arresting U.S. residents by mistake.
Concepcion says he plans to file a proper grievance.
