@nowthisimpact: George Retes, a U.S. Army veteran and citizen, was detained by ICE for three days after being tear-gassed and forcibly removed from his car during a Ventura County immigration raid — despite clearly identifying himself as a citizen. He was denied access to a lawyer, family contact, or any explanation for his arrest, and was released without charges.

If not 1930s Germany, why 1930s Germany shaped?

And ICE claims they’re not racially profiling and they have a “case” on every detainee? Yeah right

He got due process. ICE / DHS have the right to detain unverified individuals on site and place into administrative detention for 48-72hrs until identity / status is verified. 8 U.S. Code § 1357 He got caught up in the chaos of a massive raid, between 200-360 undocumented detained (largely because he was noncompliant), but was processed and released. Immigration enforcement / detention is civil, not criminal, so under the law he did not need or qualify to contact legal counsel. Fact checking is free

Being detained is not arrested. This only has to happen because democrats won’t enforce immigration laws. It will continue.

George Retes, a U.S. Army veteran & citizen, was unconstitutionally held against his will by ICE for 3 days after having been tear-gassed and forcibly removed from his car while attempting to make his way to WORK w his route passing through a ongoing Ventura county immigration raid by happenstance, clearing identifying as a US citizen. He was denied access to a lawyer, family contact, or any explanation of his arrest, and was released without charges. He got conflicting orders from officers during his attempt the communicate and identify as a citizen and his intent to make his way to WORK, then tear-gassed and dragged out! There that's what happened

The people you should be angry with is the Biden administration who let in millions of illegal aliens. Now we have ICE doing this. My guess is it doesn’t matter if you are born here, ever heard of anchor babies?

The motive was never law or keeping people safe, IT WAS ALWAYS BIGOTRY it was always about creating an enemy by targeting minorities.

This video highlights a deeply troubling case where a U.S. Army veteran's rights were violated during an immigration raid. George Retes’ experience of being detained without explanation, denied legal access, and forcibly removed from his car despite identifying as a citizen is a stark reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in law enforcement practices. The situation calls for urgent reflection on how such injustices can be prevented in the future.

If there is no due process for some, there is nothing to assure that there is due process for the “approved persons.” This is not right.

Can someone tell me if there is a “republican” news outlet that reported this so I can show my family? They don’t trust the “democratic” news 🙄

I have a feeling he was causing problems for the officer by yelling and throwing things and was caught cause he refused to leave

I wonder what would happen if 1 million people showed up in front of Florida Alcatraz and demanded that everybody get released? I'm so sorry this happened to this veteran. It's unacceptable.

It’s illegal to be brown thanks to MAGA- I’m 🇵🇷 my entire family served in all world wars- many veterans including my youngest daughter USMC- today she a police officer- I’m a paramedic that lives in fear - Not fair or right- so much for going after criminals 🤔But you elected a criminal for President 🤷🏽‍♂️makes no sense and how was he even eligible- Oh yeah he’s wealthy and white with a immigrant family👌- Musk is a immigrant- Ted Cruz born in Canada 🙈
