A father is back with his family after being detained during an immigration raid at a Cypress Park Home Depot. Federal agents allegedly drove off with his baby in the backseat.
The 32-year-old man, who is a U.S. citizen, was released after two days in custody. He was detained last Tuesday for allegedly throwing rocks at agents. According to him, agents then drove off in his car with his 1-year-old daughter still in the backseat.
“There’s a baby in the back! Yeah, bro, and the guy was doing absolutely nothing, bro,” a witness said while recording a cellphone video of the incident.
The video shows the child in the backseat, with two masked federal agents seated in the front of the vehicle. Fortunately, the baby was later released to her family. Her grandmother stated that the child had a bruised cheek but was otherwise okay.
In a related incident, cellphone video captured the moment Rafael Veraza and his family were pepper-sprayed by Border Patrol agents on a Saturday morning in the parking lot of a Sam’s Club.
