A U.S. citizen and disabled Army veteran is demanding “a full investigation” after he was detained by ICE for three days without explanation. George Retes was arrested last week during an immigration raid at a farm in Camarillo, California, where he works as a security guard. He described the ordeal following his release.
George Retes: “They had no coordination going on whatsoever. They were just kind of cuffing people and just sending them away without any information at all. So, they arrested me. They asked — they just asked what I was doing, eventually, and they asked me if I was a citizen, and I told them yes. … They didn’t allow me to shower. They didn’t give me a phone call. They didn’t let me speak to an attorney. They never told me what I was arrested for.”
Meanwhile, Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government is considering filing a legal complaint against Trump and ICE over the death of Jaime Alanís, a farmworker who died after falling from the roof of a greenhouse during that immigration raid in Camarillo.
