Within seconds, a fear the 16-year-old U.S.
citizen had long suppressed comes to the surface.
His undocumented father might be taken by federal agents.
As Arnoldo continues to film,
Agents appear to ram into the Bazan's car at least four times.
Jen, what happens next after what you see in the car there as agents ram into their vehicle?
By the way, Arnulfo, the father in that scene there, he's on his way trying to take his son to school in the morning.
This happens around 7.30 in the morning on a Thursday back in October.
And shortly after the car rammings that you see there, they end up stopping at a restaurant depot.
The father tries to go inside.
He has friends who are there.
He thinks he might be safe.
But agents very quickly follow after him, and they tackle both him and his 16-year-old U.S.
citizen son to the ground.
And it's an incredibly violent encounter.
Both of them are held to the ground.
Arnoldo describes seeing his father getโ
kicked and punched repeatedly.
And we obtained three different angles of bystander video that shows that Arnoldo was held in a chokehold, which for the most part within DHS has been banned, especially when used against minors.
And in the aftermath of that, he ends up having to go to a hospital, a trauma center in Texas, where he receives treatment.
