Where this statement fits
Was ICE’s use of force in arresting Marco Antonio Roblero Pérez justified?
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers used a Taser while arresting Marco Antonio Roblero Pérez in Doraville, Georgia, on July 18, 2026. His family alleges that officers also piled onto and struck him after he fell; the Department of Homeland Security says the Taser was used after he ignored commands and ran toward traffic, but its reported response did not address the alleged post-fall strikes.
