Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

Clare Considine Fri 25 Jul 2025 13.19 EDT

On the morning of 2 May, teenager Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio was driving to his landscaping job in North Palm Beach with his mother and two male friends when they were pulled over by the Florida highway patrol.

In one swift moment, a traffic stop turned into a violent arrest.

A highway patrol officer asked everyone in the van to identify themselves, then called for backup. Officers with US border patrol arrived on the scene.

Video footage of the incident captured by Laynez-Ambrosio, an 18-year-old US citizen, appears to show a group of officers in tactical gear working together to violently detain the three men*, two of whom are undocumented. They appear to use a stun gun on one man, put another in a chokehold and can be heard telling Laynez-Ambrosio: “You’ve got no rights here. You’re a migo, brother.” Afterward, agents can be heard bragging and making light of the arrests, calling the stun gun use “funny” and quipping: “You can smell that … $30,000 bonus.”................

Thugs for hire numbers to make the shirstain's goal. The party for the rule of law and order as long as it doesn't apply to them.

this is a bounty mentality, wherein who gets the most bounties (immigrants, US Citizens - brown/black/red/yellow).

The USA economy is failing.

Overall, the hunt is on.

They have to make up for every junior high bus stop wedgie and prom date rejection they can't get over 20 years later.
