A 17-year-old U.S. citizen was driving a friend home in Temecula, California, when an off-duty federal immigration agent, identified as Gerardo Rodriguez, pulled a gun on him during a traffic stop. The teen was held at gunpoint and detained on the roadside for nearly 20 minutes while being interrogated, until his mother arrived with his U.S. passport to confirm his citizenship. Rodriguez, believed to be an ICE or Border Patrol agent, was arrested on November 11 in connection with the incident. The case was cited as part of a broader pattern of immigration agents confronting individuals and demanding identification.
