Border Patrol Violently Arrests 18-Year-Old U.S. Citizen, Nonprofit Says

On May 2, 2025, Florida Highway Patrol and U.S. Border Patrol stopped a vehicle on Singer Island, detaining 18-year-old U.S. citizen Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio for six hours.
The stop followed a commercial vehicle inspection by Florida Highway Patrol troopers enabling Border Patrol to question occupants, including two undocumented immigrants, in Palm Beach County.
Bodycam recordings show Border Patrol agents using a stun gun on one passenger and placing Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio in a chokehold while an officer joked about a $30,000 bonus.
Prosecutors charged Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio with obstruction without violence, sentencing him to community service and an anger management course, which he must complete to defer prosecution.
The expansion of immigration enforcement drew questions to Governor Ron DeSantis on Friday, as Florida plans to deputize over 1,800 officers for immigration operations.
