Overview

  • Border Patrol agents detained Narciso Barranco on June 21 outside an IHOP in Santa Ana, capturing video that appears to show officers tackling and punching the 48-year-old landscaper.
  • The Department of Homeland Security defended the use of force, alleging Barranco tried to flee through traffic and swung a weed whacker at agents, claims his family and immigration advocates dispute.
  • California Senator Alex Padilla and Congressman Lou Correa helped the Barranco family locate him at a federal detention center in downtown Los Angeles after his whereabouts were unknown.
  • Barranco remains in a crowded ICE cell with limited food, water and delayed medical attention, his son Alejandro says, as the family seeks bond and legal representation.
  • Military families and advocacy groups are calling for a review of Border Patrol and ICE procedures, citing concerns over detainee treatment and excessive force.
