Video a witness captured on their phone shows federal agents driving a vehicle forward before the man they've detained starts screaming in pain. VANCOUVER, Wash. — A Vancouver family worries their loved one was run over by federal agents as they arrested him in the middle of a busy street on Thursday. Cell phone video captured by a driver stuck in traffic behind the immigration officers partially captured the incident. It happened on East 4th Plain Boulevard and Z Street. Carmen Paniagua and her husband, Ulysses, told KGW that the man seen being detained in the video is Ulysses' brother, 27-year-old Jose Paniagua Calderon. They were told Thursday that Jose's car had been found somewhere in town by a family friend. "My husband came over here to double check that it was his car, and that's how we confirmed that it was him because he had a little work hat and everything," Carmen Paniagua said. "So, he confirmed that it was, and then, I don't know where, we started seeing the videos that were circulating on the Internet." Paniagua said that Calderon had just gotten off of work when he was surrounded in traffic by federal agents. They broke his car window, dragged him to the ground, and one of the agents then got into the driver's seat of his car. In a video circulating on social media and provided to KGW, multiple SUVs are stopped in the middle of a busy street. Several masked federal law enforcement officers can be seen standing around. At first, Calderon can't be clearly seen, as he is seated on the pavement in between two vehicles. One of the officers can be seen to get in one of the vehicles and begin to drive it forward. Then, Calderon starts screaming. Editor's note: The video embedded below is graphic and may be difficult for some viewers. "You could see how the car goes like up and down on his leg, and then you just hear him screaming and in so much pain," said Paniagua. "Like, when we heard his scream, that broke all of us — and I'm pretty sure that even the people that are not his family felt bad." Seconds later, officers pick Calderon up and put him in the back of the other vehicle. It's at this point that his face and body become visible. "They didn't even give him the medical attention that he needed right there and then, because in the video you could clearly see how his leg is twisted," Paniagua said. "So, we honestly think it might have broke or something." Paniagua said Calderon was quickly taken to the ICE detention facility up in Tacoma, and they worry that he still has not received proper medical care. "They're abusing their power, they're just being racist — they're treating us like animals," Paniagua said. "We want this to be known because we want justice for him. We want them to be accountable for what they did to him, because no human should be treated worse than an animal." The Vancouver Police Department initially indicated that they'd heard about the incident, but no one had filed a report. Late Friday afternoon, VPD put out a statement saying they'd be taking a closer look. "The Vancouver Police Department learned of this incident via a video that appeared to be taken with a cell phone of the ICE arrest that was subsequently circulated by community members. The video appears to show that the arrested person’s foot may have been struck by an ICE agent’s vehicle during the arrest."Based on the information regarding a vehicle that is alleged to have struck a person within the city limits of Vancouver, per our policy, the Vancouver Police Department will be conducting a traffic investigation to determine the facts." The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin responded to the incident on Saturday in an emailed statement, saying: “FALSE. ICE did NOT run over this illegal alien's leg. After ICE officers applied wrist restraints, Paniagua launched into an Oscar-level performance, dramatically screaming while officers simply moved his vehicle off the roadway. He walked around normally immediately after without issue and received a full medical evaluation including multiple X rays that showed ZERO fractures, dislocations or injures. Pure theatre. No Injury.” On the morning of Thanksgiving, ICE agents detained a Vancouver father, Luis Ixchop, while he was out delivering food with his partner. Ixchop has high blood pressure, and his partner said that he'd been hospitalized after the arrest. In a statement they released later regarding Ixchop's arrest, ICE said in part: "It is a longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody and provides each detainee with medical, dental, and mental health intake screening within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility, a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care. This is the best healthcare that many aliens have received in their entire lives." The Paniaguas said that they didn't want to talk about the details of Calderon's legal status, but they said he'd been in Vancouver for about five years and worked to provide for his elderly parents in Mexico. "He doesn't have a crime; he doesn't have bad habits. He's a guy who his hobby is going to church and playing guitar. He wasn't doing anything bad," said Paniagua. Paniagua has started a GoFundMe to raise money for legal support and potential medical help for Calderon.
