Mexican brothers arrested, one tased by federal agents

Two brothers from Mexico were arrested by federal agents on Friday in Norwalk, Connecticut. Video shows two officers aggressively tugging Leonel Chavez’s arm while he sits inside a car before saying he is under arrest. A second video filmed by a passerby shows Chavez's brother, Ricardo, running away from an agent before getting tased, prompting him to suddenly collapse on the ground. The DHS told CNN in a statement that ICE agents were operating in Norwalk last week, but they did not specify whether it was ICE officers who arrested the Chavez brothers.
