Two Protesters Blinded by Federal 'Less-Lethal' Rounds at Santa Ana ICE Protest
TL;DR
During a Santa Ana anti-ICE protest, a federal officer fired a close-range 'less-lethal' munition that blinded 21-year-old Kaden Rummler and injured 31-year-old Britain Rodriguez; video shows Rummler dragged into a federal building as protesters described the event as peaceful, while DHS use-of-force policy treats neck/head strikes as deadly force, fueling renewed scrutiny of federal crowd-control tactics amid protests tied to a Minneapolis ICE shooting.
