UPDATE: Toddler Detained In Chaotic Border Patrol Raid At Home Depot In Cypress Park This Morning
After an agent hit the child in the face with a ball, the youth was driven away from the scene by Border Patrol. The child was later reunited with its mother in the afternoon.
“… Six people and one toddler were detained in the parking lot, according to rapid responders. The raid lasted around 30 minutes.
A U.S. Citizen was also temporarily detained by Border Patrol agents, before being released and taken to the hospital to receive medical attention for injuries sustained during his detention.
… A U.S. citizen named Jorge, who is a staff member of the day laborer center, which has been located on the Home Depot parking lot for 20 years, was among those detained by Border Patrol agents as they “breached” the private property of the Cypress Community Job Center,
… Jorge told them that he works at the job center and asked them why they took him. The agents told him they were going to go back to the center and claimed they took him because he looked suspicious.
Jorge sustained a fractured wrist due to the brutal detainment.
“They photographed him, videotaped him, were asking him questions, interrogating him about what the organization does, and they said, if he did not give them information, that they were going to process him and put him through the immigration detention system,” Ortiz tells L.A. TACO. “The only information he did give was his name, and he was subsequently released, and now he's actually in the emergency room getting his injuries checked out.”…”
