Narciso Barranco, 48, a landscaper from Tustin in Southern California, was left bloodied and visibly shaken after being violently detained by at least seven alleged immigration officers while working outside of an IHOP on Saturday.

In one short video first posted by Santa Ana councilman Johnathan Hernandez and the social Instagram account @Santaanaproblems, alleged Customs and Border Protection agents struck Barranco in the head at least six times, thrusting his face into the concrete and kneeling on his neck, before he was forced into the back of a light-colored Chevrolet SUV using a truncheon.

Barranco’s shoulder was left dislocated, his eldest son, Alejandro, a 25-year-old Marine veteran, told the Los Angeles Times.

Alejandro Barranco, who served with the Marine Corps in Afghanistan, told the Santanero that his father was transferred to a detention facility in LA.

I will never be able to get over how horrible the CBP/ICE Nazis are.

    Yeah that tracks.

    Horrible fact for the day: the word they use in official reports for Mexican immigrants is "tonk" (after a lot of people got upset that they used the word "wetback" in official documents). Know why?

    It's the sound a metal flashlight makes when impacting a human head.

    Yeah.

    If 40 years on this wonder ball floating in space, has taught me anything, police in the USA love beating nonwhites.

    They also love beating whites if they are non-straight or trans or their wife.

    This will be the plot to a revenge movie in the future.

    Those ice “agents” will be getting a visit in the night. Like in Yellowstone or something

    "to be fair", the veterans Marines in this news is the "wrong color". edit: I'm not American and don't know how to use the veteran status so I changed it to Marines as per the article.

    pretty sure the white supremacists resent having "animals" in their ranks.

    To be fair they're the wrong colour? Wtf are you even saying here?... and, can you not?

    Like can you not be stepping in right now to try to explain for the racists? Who do you think you're helping out by deciding that's necessary?

    STFU.

    I wonder if they're rethinking their decision to join this country's armed forces.

    At least they got some useful skills out of it. Hopefully they put them to good use! 🙂

    I doubt it, honestly.

    If you're still on board with Trump at this point you'd just explain this away as an isolated accident.

    Aren't most armed service men and women generally conservative?

    Yeah, the common phrase used by people joining is they joined "to protect your freedom." If it turns out that the actual threat to our freedom is at home, are they still willing to fight?

    (I know, the vast majority of enlistees didn't join for this reason. They joined to get out of a bad situation. It's a job with fairly good pay and fantastic benefits.)

    Or they are hypocrites because a lot of them join to escape poverty. It's easy for the military, the marines and all those recruit poor people. Sometimes they don't really have much choice anyway.

    I can imagine bars full of MAGA people cheering the cops on. There's no cure for low character.

    Attacking marine dads. This is perfect, in the sense that if marines weren't already on the side of the people, they are now. Hope this guy recovers well, because the shoulder is one thing... but this is also an emotionally traumatizing experience

    They seem to love hitting Marines. There's no way there aren't other Marines out there just waiting for a confrontation.

    No they go after the OLD immigrants. They were so proud of having raided a dangerous swap meet last week… full of people shopping for tools, baby clothes and second hand furniture.

    They will never go after a marine or a gang member… these ones can fight back.

    Beating people is fine, immigrants, even better. But now they are coming for MARINES and their parents? The terrorist breeders??? Not good.

    Listen up MARINES. This was targeted. They know how disciplined and trained you are. That's why it requires 7 immigration officers to detain one MARINE.

    The article says it's the father of 3 Marines, one whos a veteran. I don't think the victim himself was a marine. Also there's no proof these guys were even affiliated with the government. Just another fucked up reason to not trust masked men claiming to be part of the government.
