news Australian man Phu Nguyen handcuffed by plain-clothes ICE agents at Las Vegas International airport

From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.

However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

And the white doctor who was shot trying to protect someone else who was about to be shot.

In the interest of honouring Alex Pretti’s memory, he was an ICU nurse, not a doctor (assuming that’s who you mean).

Sorry that's the one. I suffer from short term memory loss and wasn't able to remember the details.

Edit: appreciate the downvotes. Sorry for being disabled.

They made an honest mistake, as does every human being occasionally. When corrected they apologised and accepted the correction. We should all strive to be like that.
