Under US law, it is nearly impossible for a person to file a civil rights lawsuit against an individual federal agent. But an increasing number of people harmed by ICE and DHS agents are filing tort claims: demanding monetary compensation from the federal government for what has been done to them.

“The ICE agent behind me grabbed the back of my shirt and just threw me like a sack of trash”

reporter: "a huge number of attempts at prosecution have been dropped, why will these be different?" "none of our indictments have failed." other reporter: "it's actually half now that have failed"
