Disabled army vet.......
A 25-year-old disabled U.S. Army veteran who was
detained during an immigration raid on a cannabis farm in Ventura County has spoken out for the first time, calling his arrest “a violation of my civil rights” and demanding a full investigation into the conduct of immigration agents involved in the operation.
George Retes, a U.S. citizen and security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, was taken into federal custody on July 10 during what authorities described as a large-scale immigration enforcement action. The raid drew protests from farmworkers, advocacy groups, and the United Farm Workers Union, which initially reported Retes’ detention and later announced his release without charges.
In a statement to KTLA on Tuesday, Retes said he was “wrongfully detained by ICE agents while simply trying to report to work.” He alleged that he was pepper-sprayed, tear-gassed, had his car window smashed, and was forcibly removed from his vehicle at gunpoint — all while complying with orders and identifying himself as both a U.S. citizen and an employee.
“I clearly identified myself as a U.S. citizen and an employee at the farm,” Retes wrote, “yet federal agents ignored me, yelled conflicting orders, and then violently detained me.”
Ok, this is one mans story and I always grant there are two sides to everything....but so many stories now of just BLANTANT rounding up of any brown person just because...US citizen, whatever, off to the happy camp with you......and so comforting to know that ICE is now our largest federal law enforcement agency with a larger budget than most of worlds armies. They arent going to need crazy maga fuckwads for the next jan 6th, trump will have his own personal masked army, much like hitler has his SS.
