Long Beach 美国公民在 ICE 执法中受伤送医：市长致信国土安全部要求独立调查 ICE 否认撞人
位于加州洛杉矶县的 Long Beach 市北区，10月17日发生一起美国移民与海关执法局（Immigration and Customs Enforcement，ICE）执法受伤事件：自称美国公民的 Ricardo Gonzalez 当天在 Elm Avenue 与 56th Street 一带骑电动自行车时被 ICE 探员拦停拘留，过程中受伤。据 CNN 报道，市长 Rex Richardson 表示，Gonzalez 曾拨打 911 称现场情况升级、请求协助；Long Beach 警局人员到场时，发现他已被戴上手铐、身上流血。警员将他带往附近消防站摘除手铐，随后由消防人员送往医院。
Richardson 本周致信国土安全部（Department of Homeland Security，DHS）并向其监察长办公室提交正式投诉，要求独立调查这起用武事件，并在调查完成前将涉事探员调离执法岗位；投诉称 Gonzalez 据报遭反复电击、被强行压制并受重伤。目击者 Sherman Austin 对 CNN 表示，他看到一辆无标记车辆撞到 Gonzalez，随后探员对他使用电击枪并将他按倒在地；其女儿 Leslie Gonzalez 也称父亲被电击两次、手臂骨折。流传的视频中，Gonzalez 被按在路边时反复呼喊「救我，我的手臂断了」。Gonzalez 曾在市政府工作约七年，最近任职于 Long Beach Utilities。
ICE 发言人周二发表声明提出不同说法：当天 ICE 在 Long Beach 定点执法、缉捕一名在逃有刑事记录的非法移民，期间有人阻挠执法、威胁探员并损坏政府车辆。声明称「ICE 并未撞到骑车人」，被捕男子砸坏了一辆政府车辆的后视镜，「拒捕危险，可能导致受伤」；该男子已被移交当地警方，ICE 正调查其损坏政府车辆可能面临的指控。ICE 未回答 CNN 关于 Gonzalez 是否为美国公民的提问。另据 KTLA 取得的监控画面，一辆无标记 SUV 事发时在一条单行道上逆行，但画面角度无法确认电动自行车与 SUV 是否发生碰撞。
Long Beach 警局当天的声明称，ICE 以车辆遭破坏、有人需要医疗救助为由请求市警局与消防部门协助，警员在 Locust Avenue 与 Ellis Street 现场见到涉及 ICE 探员的人群骚乱；警局表示其未参与移民执法、未逮捕任何人。Gonzalez 的具体伤情尚未由官方公布。

U.S. Citizen Injured During ICE Operation in Long Beach: Mayor Asks DHS for Independent Investigation as ICE Denies Hitting Him
In North Long Beach, a city in Los Angeles County, California, a man who says he is a U.S. citizen was injured on October 17 during an enforcement operation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE): Ricardo Gonzalez was stopped and detained by ICE agents while riding an e-bike near Elm Avenue and 56th Street, and was hurt in the encounter. According to CNN, Mayor Rex Richardson said Gonzalez had called 911 to report an escalating situation and ask for help; when Long Beach police officers arrived, they found him handcuffed and bleeding while being detained by ICE. Officers took him to a nearby fire station, where his handcuffs were removed, and fire department personnel then transported him to a hospital for treatment.
This week Richardson sent a letter to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and filed a formal complaint with the DHS Office of Inspector General, calling for an independent investigation into the use-of-force incident and asking that all agents involved be removed from enforcement duties until the investigation is complete; the complaint said Gonzalez reportedly was subjected to repeated Taser use, was forcibly restrained and sustained significant injuries. Witness Sherman Austin told CNN he saw an unmarked vehicle strike Gonzalez, after which agents got out, tasered him and pinned him to the ground; his daughter, Leslie Gonzalez, also said her father was tased twice and suffered a broken arm. In videos of the incident, Gonzalez can be heard yelling, "Help me, my arm is broken," while being held down against a curb. Gonzalez worked for the City of Long Beach for about seven years, most recently with Long Beach Utilities.
An ICE spokesperson offered a different account in a statement on Tuesday: ICE said it conducted a targeted enforcement operation in Long Beach on October 17 to arrest an at-large criminal illegal alien, and that during the operation people attempted to impede the operation, threaten officers and damage government vehicles. "ICE did NOT hit an individual on a bike," the statement said, adding that the arrested man had smashed the mirror of a government vehicle and that "resisting arrest is dangerous and can result in injury." The man was transferred to the custody of local police, and ICE said it is investigating potential charges for the damage to the government vehicle. ICE did not answer CNN's question about whether Gonzalez is a U.S. citizen. Surveillance footage obtained by KTLA shows an unmarked SUV driving the wrong way down a one-way street, but the camera angle does not show whether the e-bike and the SUV collided.
In a statement released the day of the incident, the Long Beach Police Department said ICE personnel had requested assistance from city police and fire personnel because of vehicle vandalism and a person in need of medical aid, and that officers at Locust Avenue and Ellis Street encountered a large group disturbance involving the ICE agents; the department said it took no part in immigration enforcement and made no arrests. Gonzalez's specific injuries have not been officially released.
