US EditionU.S. citizen seeks $1 million after arrest, detention for recording immigration raid
- Job Garcia, a 37-year-old American citizen, was detained for more than a day after documenting an immigration enforcement operation involving ICE and Border Patrol agents at a Home Depot location in Los Angeles last month.
- The advocacy organization representing Garcia claims that his detention was unlawful, driven by racial bias, and infringed upon his constitutional rights, including those related to free speech and due process.
- MALDEF reports that agents tackled Garcia without warning, causing bruises on his body, emotional distress, and economic losses estimated between $2,500 and $3,000 from missed work.
- MALDEF announced they are preparing a $1 million lawsuit against ICE, Customs and Border Protection, and Homeland Security agencies for false arrest, assault, and detention, with Ernest Herrera stating the government punishes those exercising their rights.
- The case highlights ongoing concerns of government misconduct during immigration raids and signals MALDEF's intent to challenge these practices legally, seeking justice and damages for Garcia.
