ICE Officer Drops Gun, Appears To Point It During Hyattsville Arrest; Video Sparks Outrage In Prince George’s County

Video filmed in Hyattsville, Prince George’s County, shows officers detaining a man during what appears to be an ICE arrest; at one point an officer’s gun falls to the ground, and the officer lunges to pick it up and appears to point it, prompting alarm among bystanders. The footage, recorded by a local photographer and circulated on social media, shows drivers honking and witnesses yelling at officers as they struggled to handcuff the man. Local officials and legislators expressed concern and fear in the diverse, largely Hispanic neighborhood, emphasizing that county police do not coordinate arrests with ICE. ICE did not respond to requests for comment, and authorities have not clarified the reason for the arrest or whether charges will be filed.
