laistofficial Federal officers shot Ricardo Parias eight months ago during an ICE operation to detain him. His lawyer says he is still in pain, highlighting gaps in DHS oversight and care. ㅤ About his immigration status: Parias entered the country illegally in 2002 from Mexico and spent the last two decades living in the Los Angeles area, including with his two U.S. citizen children. ㅤ About his detention: At the time, Parias had gained a large social media following, monetizing his TikTok account as a primary source of income as he shared community events. When the Trump administration increased enforcement in Los Angeles last year, Parias began documenting immigration arrests and federal officer presence for his more than 250,000 followers. After more than two decades of living and working in the U.S. unnoticed, his activism put him on ICE's radar. ㅤ Be part of keeping local news strong: LAist.com/Donate ㅤ Our link in bio has more information. ✍️ Ximena Bustillo | NPR 📸 Office of Los Angeles City Council member Curren Price / via AP View all comments
