A viral video showing federal agents forcibly detaining two Honduran men during a traffic stop in Indianapolis without explanation has sparked outrage and raised concerns about immigration enforcement tactics.

On February 28, two Honduran men were pulled over in Indianapolis while on their way to work, the Indy Star reported. They were confronted by officers from multiple federal agencies, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Homeland Security Investigations.

The men, who family members claimed were in possession of work visas, were forcefully removed from their vehicle and detained without being informed of any charges against them.

The arrest, captured on video and shared widely on social media, shows officers pointing stun guns at the men, demanding identification and physically restraining them.

In the video obtained by WISH-TV, one officer lunges into the car as the driver expresses fear. Both men were taken to the Marion County Jail and later transferred to immigration holding facilities.

The driver's wife has spoken out, emphasizing that her husband was the sole provider for their family and was working to support their disabled daughter.

While the driver remains in detention in Indiana, the passenger has been moved to a Louisiana staging facility commonly used for deportation flights. Public records indicate neither man has been charged with a crime related to the traffic stop.
