A new video recorded by a bystander known online as “Flaming Fabio” shows Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents detaining a man in San Diego who appeared to resist arrest. The video captures the tense moment when several agents confront the man near a parked vehicle and attempt to restrain him.
As the situation escalates, the man struggles against the officers, prompting one agent to press him against the side of the vehicle in order to gain control. Witnesses can be heard reacting as agents order the suspect to comply. DHS officials have not yet released a statement on the arrest or confirmed the charges involved.
The footage quickly spread online, drawing mixed reactions. Some viewers argue the agents acted within their duties to ensure safety, while others question whether the level of force was necessary. The man’s identity and current status remain unconfirmed.
This incident adds to ongoing discussions surrounding federal enforcement operations in border states and the challenges officers face when detaining individuals who resist arrest. Local authorities say the case is under review.
