"Juan Sebastián Carvajal-Muñoz was driving to work when Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers allegedly cut him off, smashed his window, dragged him out, and put him in full-body shackles."
"These agents allegedly spent the rest of the day taunting and terrorizing Carvajal-Muñoz, refusing to accept proof of his lawful status and insisting that his visa would be revoked."
"Carvajal-Muñoz's attorneys are testing a legal theory that circumvents these roadblocks by suing officers under state law for violations of his constitutional rights."
Juan Sebastián Carvajal-Muñoz, a lawful resident of Maine, was violently abducted by immigration agents while driving to work. The agents allegedly cut him off, smashed his window, and dragged him out, ignoring his lawful status. After being detained and mistreated, he was abandoned in another state without his belongings. Unlike many others, Carvajal-Muñoz is fighting back by suing the agents with the help of civil rights lawyers, including the ACLU, using a legal theory that targets state law violations of his constitutional rights.
