Tucker Collins, 18, was shot in the eye with what appeared to be a projectile containing chemical irritants during the March 28 demonstration, said his attorney, V. James DeSimone. He was taken to the side of the protest at the Metropolitan Detention Center and given an eye patch. "This is the third person who's lost an eye, maybe the fourth by a [Department of Homeland Security agent]." DeSimone said he has seen other cases in which a member of the press or someone taking photos was targeted by agents at a protest. DeSimone said that other lawsuits filed on behalf of individuals who say they were injured by Homeland Security agents are all in their beginning stages and still being filed.
