A 21-year-old Santa Ana protester says a federal agent’s less-lethal round blinded his left eye; doctors found plastic, metal, and glass fragments in the eye and near his carotid artery. He was charged with disorderly conduct, while DHS notes two officers were injured in the operation.
A Department of Homeland Security agent fired less-lethal rounds at protesters in Santa Ana, injuring a 21-year-old demonstrator who is now permanently blind in one eye. Doctors found shrapnel and metal fragments with near-artery proximity, requiring lifelong monitoring. DHS and local police offer conflicting narratives about who threw objects, and video shows agents approaching and a protester being dragged into a federal building as others intervene. The injured protester, Kaden Rummler, and fellow Dare to Struggle members are calling for accountability while authorities review the incident; another protester, Skye Jones, was arrested during the event linked to protests over an ICE-involved shooting in Minnesota.
