Two officers investigated for policy violations related to Manuel Ellis' death in March 2020 have been exonerated and cleared to return to work, according to a news release from the Tacoma Police Department.
Ellis was a Black man who died while in police custody, CNN previously reported. He could be heard crying, "I can't breathe," on police dispatch audio.
Officer Armando Farinas was investigated for his "application of a spit hood" on Ellis, the police department said. "While the investigation did show that Officer Farinas placed the spit hood on Mr. Ellis, it was found the actions of Officer Farinas were reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances."

A Border Patrol agent shot two people in Portland, Oregon, during a traffic stop after authorities said they were associated with a Venezuelan gang, another incident in a string of confrontations with federal authorities that have left Americans frustrated with immigration enforcement during the Trump administration.

Oregon authorities are investigating a shooting by a Border Patrol agent in Portland that wounded two people federal authorities say are tied to a violent international gang – an incident that renewed questions about the Trump administration’s handling of its immigration crackdown in the city and across the US.
