Native information station KTLA precisely described<\/a> the assailants as \u201cmasked males carrying U.S. Border Patrol vests,\u201d a nod to widespread criticism<\/a> of the brokers\u2019 refusal to determine themselves as they kidnap brown individuals off the streets with out warrants or trigger and throw them into unmarked automobiles.<\/p>\n

And the reality hurts, as evidenced by the Division of Homeland Safety\u2019s defensive response to the most recent controversial encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe ASSAULTED federal regulation enforcement with a WEED WHACKER,\u201d mentioned an official DHS post<\/a> on X Monday. \u201cMaybe the mainstream media would love our officers to face there and be mowed down as a substitute of defending themselves? What a very slanted portrayal of what really occurred.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The whiny put up was accompanied by extra video of Rodriguez\u2019s detainment, which confirmed a frantic man making an attempt to run away from a number of armed males and pepper spray\u00a0whereas holding a piece device. Oddly, the video had no sound, which makes it not possible to find out whether or not the weed whacker was even operating. In\u00a0the background, a masked man\u00a0could be seen pointing a gun at a passing automobile, which solely illustrates the chaos and terror these unhinged \u201cbrokers\u201d are unleashing on harmless individuals whose solely crime is trying \u201cunlawful.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n

It\u2019s no surprise DHS is\u00a0pushing again towards the resulting uproar<\/a> that sparked extra protests in Santa Ana: It seems Rodriguez is the daddy of three U.S. Marines, together with two on lively obligation.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really feel betrayed,\u201d former Marine Alejandro Barranco advised The Orange County Register<\/a>. \u201cMy dad has no felony historical past. He wasn\u2019t doing something dangerous. He was simply working. The best way they (federal brokers) attacked him, I don\u2019t suppose it\u2019s proper.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alejandro Barranco, who served in Afghanistan, advised the Register his father has no felony historical past and was within the technique of making use of for parole-in-place<\/a>, which might grant undocumented relations of active-duty army\u00a0permission to remain within the U.S. for an undetermined interval.<\/span><\/p>\n

Democratic lawmakers, together with Reps. Mike Levin and Lou Correa, denounced the motion and known as for an finish to the indiscriminate raids and detentions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is simply insanity,\u201d Correa advised the Register. \u201cYou might have a household of three youngsters that took an oath for the nation, prepared to put down their lives for this nation, and their dad and mom can\u2019t keep right here?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

DHS is continuous a sample of lying<\/a> about its actions throughout raids and detainments. Officers lied about brokers making an attempt to realize entry to the Dodger Stadium car parking zone, and in addition lied once they claimed New York Metropolis Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested for\u00a0assaulting ICE brokers whereas he was escorting immigrants at a courthouse.<\/p>\n

In addition they lied and mentioned Sen. Alex Padilla of California was manhandled and detained<\/a> for not asserting his id when making an attempt to ask a query throughout a\u00a0press convention being held by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, when video of the incident included clear audio of Padilla figuring out himself.<\/p>\n\n

The group has rallied across the Barranco household, donating to a GoFundMe to cowl authorized bills\u00a0<\/strong>and persevering with to carry raucous protests exterior of Orange County resorts housing ICE brokers and Border Patrol officers\u00a0whereas they\u2019re on the town doing their soiled work. However the racist Trump administration\u2019s cussed refusal to confess any wrongdoing, as proven of their tireless persecution<\/a> of wrongfully deported Maryland man Kilmar Abrego Garcia, means Narciso Barranco\u2019s eventual freedom is much from assured.<\/p>\n
