Photographer Job Garcia, a US citizen, seeks recompense after reportedly being tackled and thrown to the ground
A US citizen is seeking $1m in recompense from Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agencies after being arrested by officials last month when filming an immigration raid at a Home Depot store.
Job Garcia, a 37-year-old a photographer and PhD student at Claremont Graduate University, was tackled, thrown to the ground, arrested and detained for over 24 hours, the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (Maldef) said. The advocacy group is representing Garcia.
The arrest of immigrants has escalated nationwide, notably at Home Depot sites, where undocumented laborers in particular gather in parking lots outside branches of the store chain, waiting to be picked up for casual work.
I hope Stephen Miller’s toilet paper turns to sandpaper every time he tries to use it.
Edit:
Apologies for accidentally cursing Steve Miller
Stephen, not Steve… Steve Miller is a decent band and should not be mistaken for that sweaty fascist
Understood. Correcting
I feel like we should know who these ice agents are and have constant protests outside their homes. They shouldn’t be able to sleep soundly at night
I hope he’s well protected because I doubt they would hesitate to send him to Venezuela (by mistake of course!)
They’ll engage in intimidation tactics
