Overview

  • A judge approved Narciso Barranco’s $3,000 bond on July 10 and he was freed from Adelanto Detention Center on July 15.
  • His departure was postponed for several days due to processing errors that local officials and his attorney say highlight ICE capacity challenges.
  • Barranco is scheduled to appear in immigration court in August to pursue Parole in Place, a discretionary program for relatives of active-duty service members.
  • He and his family reject Department of Homeland Security’s account that he attacked an agent with a weed whacker, citing video evidence showing he held the tool defensively.
  • Barranco is undergoing medical evaluation and recovering physically and emotionally, with fundraising and public support from community leaders and his three Marine sons.
