U.S. Citizen Shot by ICE Officer Near Children’s Bus Stop Sues Government for $25M

Carlos Jimenez, a U.S. citizen and father of three from Ontario, California, filed a $25 million federal lawsuit alleging he was wrongfully shot and arrested and then subjected to “malicious prosecution.” The complaint says that on October 30, 2025, on his way to work at a food pantry, he stopped to tell ICE agents that children would soon arrive at an adjacent bus stop; ICE officer Eusebio Ortiz pointed a gun at his face and, when he tried a three-point turn, fired multiple shots into his car, hitting him in the back and right shoulder. DHS said at the time that he “attempted to run officers over.” The suit also alleges FBI agents followed him to the hospital, interfered with his care and took him from his hospital bed for interrogation, and calls the assault charges against him “fabricated.”
