Immigrant father of three Marines is violently detained, injured by federal agents, son says
Briefly

In Orange County, a video of Alejandro Barranco's father being violently detained by masked federal agents has gone viral, drawing public outrage. Narciso Barranco was approached while working outside an IHOP and, after attempting to flee, was tackled, pepper sprayed, and beaten, resulting in serious injuries. His son reported that his father was held without medical treatment for over 24 hours. The incident has led to public calls for justice and a GoFundMe campaign for legal support which raised over $48,000, underscoring community support for the Barranco family.
"I don't think it was just, I don't think it was fair. I don't think they need four 200[-pound] plus guys to hold down a 5-6 or 5-7, 150-pound guy."
"My father was pepper sprayed and beaten, and that his shoulder was dislocated."
"The video of the encounter between Barranco and immigration officials has circulated on social media, sparking outrage and the creation of a GoFundMe to help with legal representation."
"He's very well known in our community. If anyone ever needed any help, he was always there."
