Ontario man shot by federal immigration officer was following orders, not assaulting him, attorney says

The Daily Bulletin reported on the defense of Carlos Jimenez, the Ontario man shot by federal immigration officers, featuring detailed coverage of The Simon Law Group’s legal representation. Greg Jackson, a partner at The Simon Law Group, argued that Jimenez was following the officer’s order to leave and attempting to maneuver around blocked vehicles when he was shot in the back of the shoulder, contradicting federal claims that he was assaulting officers. Jackson stated that Jimenez still has a bullet lodged in his right shoulder and a broken shoulder blade, and is preparing a claim against federal authorities as a precursor to a lawsuit. The article also noted The Simon Law Group’s representation of Francisco Longoria in a similar San Bernardino case where immigration officers fired at a driver, with Jackson drawing parallels between both incidents and questioning why officers didn’t pursue if the individuals were truly dangerous. The firm’s work highlights concerns about federal immigration enforcement tactics and accountability in Southern California.
