Overview
- Video from the Cypress Park parking lot shows masked agents entering the detained man's car and leaving while his 1-year-old daughter remained strapped in the back seat.
- The child was later released to relatives, who said she was held for hours until her grandmother produced a birth certificate.
- DHS says the man, identified by family as Dennis Quinonez, exited with a hammer, threw rocks at agents, had a property-damage warrant, and a pistol reported stolen in New York was found in his car.
- Border Patrol reports five additional arrests for immigration violations during the operation, involving people from Mexico and Guatemala.
- Immigrant advocates and state leaders condemned the tactics, with groups alleging a fractured wrist at a nearby day-laborer site and calling for footage and accountability.
