'You can't do that': Video shows ICE officers smash window, drag man out of car in front of his family
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers smashed a man’s car window and dragged him to the ground in front of his family Monday, video of the arrest shows.
A more than 30-minute Facebook Live video taken during the arrest of Florencio Millan-Vazquez, 32, in Kansas City, Missouri, shows ICE agents and local police officers trying to persuade him to leave the vehicle. Millan-Vazquez and his girlfriend, Cheyenne Hoyt, repeatedly ask to see a warrant, but officers tell him they can conduct a warrantless arrest.
"If you don't get out, I'm going to break the window," an officer says.
"This is my personal property and you can't do that," Millan-Vazquez responds.
After trying to convince Millan-Vazquez to get out of the car for several more minutes, an officer tells him to cover his face and eyes. He then smashes the window, opens the door and drags him out.
The couple's 11-year-old son can be heard crying as the window is broken and his father is taken away.

Our office has been made aware of this incident, and I share Representative Cleaver's deep concern over what was shown in this video. I'm in touch with his office and local authorities to assess the situation. https://t.co/7NT032PwNM
