Texas student loses eye in protest

Attorneys for the student, Tucker Collins, have accused the Department of Homeland Security of an "overt act of repression" against peaceful protesters.

Collins had to have his eyeball surgically removed due to the severity of the injury caused by the less-lethal projectile.

The incident has sparked renewed calls for an investigation into the use of force by federal agents during civil demonstrations.

The university community has expressed outrage, and a legal battle over accountability is expected to follow.
