This is the thanks you get in America for living here peacefully and productively for thirty years, raising three boys who fight for the country. I support controlling the border and bringing order to our immigration system, but not like this. We need to stop the racist culture wars and reexamine our priorities and values as a nation, before it is too late.


A Marine Corps veteran says he feels betrayed after his father was beaten and arrested by masked federal agents while working at his landscaping job, caught up in one of the ongoing ICE workplace raids that advocates say have left immigrant communities terrified and on edge.

Alejandro Barranco told CNN Monday that his father, Narciso Barranco, was detained by federal agents Saturday afternoon while working as a landscaper at an IHOP in Santa Ana, California. The 25-year-old Marine veteran said his father was born in Mexico and has lived in the US since the 90s. He is undocumented but has no criminal record, his son said.

“He was always a good dad,” Alejandro Barranco said. “He always made sure we had food on the table. He always taught us to respect, to love our country, to always give back.”

Video of the incident shows several masked men in tactical gear pinning Barranco to the ground and repeatedly striking him in the head and neck. Several of the men are seen wearing vests that read “US Border Patrol Police” on the back.

The men then forced Barranco into an unmarked vehicle, holding his arms behind his back, the video shows."

Trump is wrecking America.
 
Ah, then the truth comes out…

He is undocumented but has no criminal record, his son said.

“The illegal alien ran, then turned and swung a weed whacker directly at an agent’s face,” said McLaughlin. “He then fled through a busy intersection and raised the weed whacker again at the agent. The illegal alien refused to comply every step of the way—resisting commands, fighting handcuffs, and refusing to identify himself.”

Masked men in unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves.... people should run away from that.
 
Ain't America turning into a grand country nowadays?

Raised three kids that grew up to serve the country.

He certainly is the worst of the worst that Trump promised to deport.

Should have thought about his family before he assaulted a federal agent with a weed whacker.

Hmm… but, other than that, was he mostly peaceful? ;)

“The agency also shared a video onlineof Barranco holding a weed whacker, claiming he “assaulted federal law enforcement.” The video shows an officer spraying an unknown substance at Barranco, who is seen holding lawn equipment but doesn’t appear to strike officers in the footage.”

ICE lying to cover their ass, and the usual suspects here covering for ICE.

Cops lie.

Who knew?

Like working, raising a family and staying out of trouble making it so three of his children grew up to serve their country?

The monster.

Like entering this country unlawfully and working illegally. The government was very generous in its willingness to ignore the law long enough for him to make babies and raise a family. But now, it’s time to pay the piper.

It’s just a shame he didn’t take responsibility like a man and instead chose to lose his dignity by running around and flailing a weed whacker at federal agents.
 
Father of three serving US Marines gets a little slack, IMO.

"dignity"......like the ICE agents wearing masks chasing around an old man?

That kind of "dignity"??
