The deputies found Mr. Gonzalez and nudged him awake, according to the Texas Rangers’ report. At first, they ordered Mr. Gonzalez to go sleep inside a trailer, but Sergeant Treviño decided to arrest him after Mr. Duque said he did not live on the property. Mr. Gonzalez later told his sister that he had been scared, so he ran — perhaps, she said, because he knew that the Sheriff’s Office cooperated with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Mr. Duque said in an interview that Mr. Gonzalez, who was 6-foot-3 and 235 pounds, had run but did not fight back as the officers cuffed him. Then the witness saw a deputy kneel on Mr. Gonzalez’s back, and a second deputy kneel on his neck.
