"The Jan. 28 decision paves the way for Narciso Barranco of Tustin, a father of three U.S. Marines, to seek legal permanent residency in the United States. For the time being, we're now actively pursuing his parole in place with (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services), Barranco's attorney, Lisa Ramirez, said. The judge's order came as a great relief for Barranco. I feel happy, he said in a phone interview in Spanish. Thank God I don't have that weight on top of me."
"Barranco was clearing weeds outside an IHOP restaurant in Santa Ana on June 21 when immigration agents approached him from behind, pinned him to the ground and handcuffed him. Video posted to social media shows he was hit multiple times in the head and taken with force. Border Patrol officials later accused Barranco of swinging his weed whacker at agents and refusing to comply with authorities, but they did not provide evidence of that."
An immigration judge terminated the deportation case against Narciso Barranco, clearing a path for him to pursue permanent residency. Barranco, a Mexican national who has lived in the United States for three decades, is the father of three U.S.-born sons serving in the military. Immigration agents detained him on June 21 while he was clearing weeds outside an IHOP in Santa Ana; video shows agents pinning and striking him. Border Patrol accused him of swinging a weed whacker but did not provide evidence. He was held nearly a month in Adelanto, released on $3,000 bond with an ankle monitor, and his attorney is pursuing parole in place while he stays home until paperwork is finalized.
