‘Devastated’ family demands answers after two-year-old driven by armed agents from LA Home Depot parking lot

Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat.

The child’s grandmother said the incident had left the whole family shaken. “I am devastated by what has happened to my son and demand an explanation,” she said at a press conference on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old father was picked up during a major enforcement operation at the Home Depot in LA’s Cypress Park neighborhood on Tuesday morning. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), five undocumented immigrants were also arrested.

The DHS has alleged that the 32-year-old “exited his vehicle wielding a hammer and threw rocks at law enforcement while he had a child in his car”.

I assume every single one of ICE's self-jusitfying stories is false, until proven otherwise.

Media has consistently been putting too much weight into statements and what people say as if it were facts.

Ok, so their claim is that he's a hero? Got it.

It's always been like that.

Nice way of saying kidnap.

“Surely there is a better way of enforcing their policies in a way that does not separate families or place tender aged children like this child in questionable circumstances,” said Renee Garcia, the communications director at the legal aid nonprofit ImmDef. “I think that it’s absolutely traumatizing for a child to be placed in that situation.”

Oh, there is a better way. But the cruelty is the point so you will only ever see this way and worse from this administration.

Pedophilia has gotten way worse, I see. Better track that child.

watched a video yesterday of agents going into a god damn daycare and pulling out a caregiver who was screaming. a god damn daycare.

all the while people are standing by filming and I just felt an incredible amount of rage at watching it. I'm not even american and I was angry. This poor woman was screaming and crying and being dragged out of a fucking daycare centre begging for her life.

If I were a parent and I saw either of these things happening first hand I would go ballistic. And with all the stories going around now of people posing as ICE agents to rob and sexually assault women how do I know these fuckers arn't one of them?

it blows my mind that there's no body count on ice agents yet. I'm honestly surprised no one has shot at them.

I’m sure ice agents are also sexually assaulting women with impunity

I'm asserting right now, that those are all ICE agents. How else could they be wearing official ICE uniforms? ICE can be accused of every crime committed in the US by a person wearing a mask, until they can confirm the whereabouts of every one of their agents at all times. Or until they change their uniforms.

I’d be honestly going insane if I was that father

I realize this is a weird thing to get caught up on, but I'm gonna guess they didnt have a car seat for that toddler, and that enrages me almost as much as their mere existence

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 4 points 20 hours ago

They drove off in the guy's car, not an ICE vehicle.
