ICE agents under scrutiny after man's legs allegedly crushed in Vancouver arrest

Source: Oregon Public Broadcasting/NPR

Dec. 6, 2025 2:54 p.m. Updated: Dec. 6, 2025 4:33 p.m.


The Vancouver Police Department is investigating after a man appeared to have his legs run over by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement truck while being detained Thursday. In a press release Friday, police said they became aware of the incident through a cellphone video circulated by community members. The video appears to show the man being struck by an ICE agent’s vehicle while being arrested.

According to The Columbian, the man, named Jose Paniagua Calderón, was detained in front of a Mexican restaurant on East 4th Plain Boulevard. Videos on social media show him screaming in pain as a silver-colored SUV drives over his legs. Carmen Paniagua, who created a GoFundMe campaign for Jose Paniagua, wrote that he is her brother-in-law. She said ICE agents denied him medical care and forced him inside their vehicle.

“Since then, our family has been left without clear answers about his condition, location, or whether he received the medical care he desperately needs. We have been searching hospital to hospital and are now fighting to make sure he is safe and treated with dignity,” she said in a written statement.

OPB has reached out multiple times to Alethea Smock, the ICE director of communications whom Vancouver police referred media inquiries to. By Saturday morning, OPB had not received a response. According to KATU, Paniagua’s family said he’s being detained at the Northwest ICE Processing Center in Tacoma.

which is across the Colombia River from Portland, OR. on the opposite end of the state from Canada.



As a sidenote, I have been Vancouver, B.C. & Seattle, driving by that Peace Arch and the famous palm tree. I am still bugging out about the flashing B.C. traffic lights.

(ETA - remember that 45 has been endlessly harassing Portland so that is obviously nearby)

I grew up in Vanc. It was a good farming and bedroom community where everyone minded their own business.
Then the religious zealots moved in, followed by lots of Californians moved in with their McMansions and drove the cost of living through the roof. Then they tore down whole subdivisions and built apartments with minimal off-street parking.
Traffic is worse than LA (and I lived in SoCal for 20 yrs), and I hate going back to visit friends and relatives.

and then the goons load him into the van and you can see no urgency about getting medical attention. You can imagine the lies that DHS is going to come up with about this.

He flung himself under the truck.

Been over 2 hours since my first reply to your comment hinting I'm an uncaring person. Just remember
this .....MSM ignores most of ICE's atrocities but when their atrocities bleed over into people who were
born in this country, MSM starts talking about how they mistreat people. Have a nice day.

Our party in Congress should propose a “billionaire tax” to create a pool of funds to pay the damages that will inevitably fall upon the US taxpayer from illegal ICE conduct. Also the budget will have financial damages from the illegal acts of Dodge.

many reasons why they don't want anyone to know their faces, badge numbers, identity, etc. Federal agents terrorizing and apparently torturing people on the streets of America as if they don't know how to make a normal arrest.

All ICE agents, since they wear masks and can’t be individually identified in specific incidents, must be put in prison for life. You were an ICE agent, you go to prison. Period.

Sooner or later, the abuses will garner a comment, and the few will be blamed to protect the many who are also guilty, to include the U.S. government.

You won"t even hear "a few bad apples" from the trump regime. You only get "in your face' comments from this regime in answer to complaints about outrageously cruel actions taken by actors under the trump regime, what the media calls trump "doubling down.'

is horrific. They handcuff people then pull them up violently by their arms and force them into an unmarked SUV. Shoving and twisting.

Looks like a lot of shoulder and arm injuries AT THE LEAST.

trump has repeatedly said at his klan rallies that it's okay for police or his security guards to rough suspects up.... and don't be too nice ... and he said he would like to see one day of violence that would allow police to do anything they want.....

He gets off on violence.

He's a fucking monster. I want to see him and his family treated the same way.
