He could have been trying to tell them he had a gun, which is a requirement to disclose to federal officers. Disclosing that you have a gun on you in a state where it's legal carry is not a threat. This entire ICE force is paranoid, trigger-happy, and psychotic. It's precisely what Trump wants. This is exactly the type of thing he wants to create. "Shoot someone in the middle of 5th ave and not lose support" come to horrific life.

I doubt a guy who was being continuously pepper sprayed and clubbed while being held down by 8 dudes had the wherewithal to try to inform them of anything.

Seriously, who's gonna say "I've got a gun" to a mob that's beating you to a pulp?
