US citizen says he was jailed for three days after California immigration raid

CAMARILLO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 17 – The immigration raid at a California cannabis farm led to over 360 arrests, including undocumented minors, with at least one death reported, officials said.

  • Last Thursday, George Retes, a U.S. citizen and Army veteran, spent three days in jail after being arrested at Glass House Farms, taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center, and held without charges.
  • Since President Trump's inauguration, the administration of President Donald Trump launched an intensified immigration crackdown in June, with federal authorities characterizing it as one of the largest deportation operations.
  • Retes asked, `This is how you're going to treat U.S. citizens?`, highlighting detainee treatment, as federal agents sprayed him with tear gas and pepper spray before dragging him down.
  • On Sunday afternoon, Retes was released after three days in custody, told he faced no charges, and the U.S. Attorney’s Office is reviewing his case for potential federal charges.
  • Next month, Retes is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 1 and plans to sue for wrongful detention.
