US EditionMasked Immigration Agents Shot at Man During Standoff in San Bernardino; Weeks Later, He Is in Custody
Federal agents detained Francisco Longoria following a standoff involving a work truck and shots fired, amid disputed claims that the truck driver injured two agents, officials said.
- On August 16, masked federal immigration officers stopped Francisco Longoria and two others inside a work truck in the San Bernardino area close to the intersection of Acacia Avenue and Baseline Street.
- The agents smashed the truck's driver's side window, ordered Longoria to roll down the window, and shot at his vehicle after he drove away, sparking a standoff and investigation.
- Footage shared by a local immigrant rights group captured the incident but did not support allegations that Longoria attacked officers or struck them with the vehicle.
- Longoria was arrested at his home around 4 a.m. with a warrant and held on suspicion of assault, but the case was dismissed due to insufficient evidence, according to a judge.
- The incident raised concerns over federal agents' tactics during immigration raids, with calls for a full investigation and accountability from local officials and immigrant advocates.
