"My whole point in sharing my story, I'm trying to warn as many people as possible,"
"It doesn't matter if you're [politically] left, right, if you voted for Trump, hate him, love him, it doesn't matter. This affects all of us."
George Retes Jr., a Southern California native and U.S. Army veteran who served in Iraq, returned to Ventura County to find work and be with his wife and two children. He began working in February as a contracted security guard for Glass House Farms' cannabis greenhouses in Camarillo. On July 10, during a large ICE raid, federal officers surrounded him as he tried to reach the workplace, pushed him to the ground and knelt on his back and neck, leaving him barely able to breathe. He was arrested and jailed for three days without a phone call or attorney and was not charged by DHS. After he publicly described the incident, DHS later accused him of assault; he denies resisting and alleges retaliation for speaking out. The Institute for Justice is representing him.
