Santa Ana protest ends with DHS round blinding a demonstrator, prompting calls for accountability

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.
