A former Marine expresses feelings of betrayal after witnessing a federal immigration agent assault his father, Narciso Barranco, during an arrest in Santa Ana. Barranco, who has lived in the U.S. since the 1990s, was applying for immigration relief due to his sons' military service. His arrest sparked protests and a fundraiser for legal aid, emphasizing concerns over current immigration policies and the treatment of families with military ties. U.S. Rep. Lou Correa criticized these policies, expressing disbelief that servicemen's families face such difficulties.
I feel betrayed, Alejandro Barranco said. My dad has no criminal history. He wasn't doing anything bad. He was just working. The way they (federal agents) attacked him, I don't think it's right.
This is just madness, said U.S. Rep. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, who describes America's current immigration policies as flawed. You have a family of three kids that took an oath for the country, ready to lay down their lives for this country, and their parents can't stay here?
