Mother of boy, 15, held at gunpoint by US immigration agents files $1m claim
The teenager, a US citizen with disabilities, was in a vehicle with his mother outside Arleta high school in Los Angeles on 11 August when masked immigration agents surrounded them and pulled them from the vehicle. They said the boy was a suspect in a crime, and handcuffed him for several minutes until they realized they had the wrong person, the Los Angeles Times reported.
...
The claim, filed by the Carrillo law firm on behalf of the boy and his mother, alleges that Ice and Border Patrol agents had no reasonable suspicion or probable cause to detain the boy and caused him physical injury and emotional distress. He is traumatized and depressed, his mother said to media.
The agents “racially profiled [the teen] while he was merely sitting his car waiting for his family member”, the claim states. It also alleges the agents left live bullet rounds on the scene in an act of “clear negligence”.
This is bullshit. They need to go for a lot more than 1mm.
Like 9mm?
(I know it was a typo and I'm trying to make jokes)
It is a good joke.
The "mm" is m x m, which is 1000 x 1000, which is a million.
"mm" is often used to denote "million" in various professions and locales. Not super common in the US
