Masked Men in Border Patrol Vests Take California Father After Repeatedly Hitting Him
- Narciso Barranco, a landscaper and father of three U.S. Marines, was violently detained by masked federal agents outside an IHOP in Santa Ana, California, on Saturday.
- The arrest occurred amid an ongoing ICE workplace raid and was reportedly triggered after Barranco tried to evade law enforcement and swung a weed whacker at an agent's face.
- Video footage widely circulated shows Barranco pinned to the ground, pepper sprayed, repeatedly punched by at least four officers, and forced into an unmarked car as bystanders protested.
- Barranco’s son Alejandro, a Marine Corps veteran, said, “I feel betrayed. My dad has no criminal history,” and a GoFundMe campaign raised over $69,000 to support legal expenses.
- The incident sparked local protests and criticism of ICE’s use of force and mask-wearing tactics, highlighting tensions over immigration enforcement in immigrant communities.
