US EditionMarine Veteran Says Border Agents Beat His Dad
- Narciso Barranco, a 48-year-old undocumented landscaper, was arrested last Saturday in Santa Ana during a federal immigration operation involving Border Patrol agents.
- The arrest followed Barranco running through a busy intersection and allegedly swinging a weed whacker at agents, though his son disputes the use of force.
- Video footage shows Barranco being tackled, pepper sprayed, and repeatedly struck by masked agents, while his son Alejandro, a Marine Corps veteran, said the force was excessive and unprofessional.
- Alejandro described his father as a hard worker with no criminal record, questioned officers holding guns sideways, and said, "It's uncalled for, not appropriate or professional."
- The arrest prompted calls for investigation, protests against immigration policies this month, and the family is pursuing legal options while Alejandro remains hopeful for his father’s release.
