The phone keeps recording through the encounter. In LackLuster's most-watched new upload, a pedestrian's open 911 call supplies audio as ICE agents demand identification and force him to the ground in handcuffs.

"Cops Leave After Beating Up The Wrong Guy" examines a September encounter in Evanston, Illinois. The man says he is a U.S. citizen; the agents remove his handcuffs and leave. Bystanders help him and relay vehicle descriptions to dispatch. Responding local police then question federal personnel nearby, capturing an acknowledgment that they identified the wrong person.

LackLuster follows the footage with a review of DHS's statements and the legal standards governing force. The report says the local police investigation remained open at the time of recording, with no charges, disciplinary action or lawsuit. It has drawn roughly 171,000 views, the largest audience among the channel's three uploads this week. "ARRESTED for Profanity" and "Police Bodycam Muted For Buddy" round out the new releases.

The strongest daily viewing, though, belongs to an upload from just before this weekly window: "Trooper Breaks 69-Year-Old's Arm Over Warrant That Wasn't Hers," about Denise Beck's mistaken-warrant arrest and subsequent excessive-force lawsuit. The New York settlement update covered here earlier also remains a substantial draw.

Across the channel, the existing catalog and new reports added about 1.4 million views over seven days, close to Unseen's weekly audience. Subscribers were unchanged, while daily viewing is currently below LackLuster's usual level. For readers catching up, the Evanston report's defining detail is not just the confrontation: it is the uninterrupted call that preserves what happened before local police arrived.
