https://www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/news/la-county-family-immigration-son-detained-us-citizen/. video of the incident shows Martinez, in a blue Walmart vest, appearing to talk to the Customs and Border Patrol agents before one of them pushed him back. In the middle of the exchange, the man who was recording, Oscar Preciado, had his phone knocked out of his hand.
After picking it up to start recording again, Preciado captured the federal agents wrestling Martinez to the ground. Preciado said the agents tried to grab him, too.
"He grabbed me by the neck and put the other hand behind my leg," Preciado said. "Luckily, I was able to get him off of me and kept recording ... I told him I'm recording this and that's when he smacked my hand to get my phone out of my hand."

By law, he has a right to an attorney.
This is how police states operate.
âA U.S. citizen!â And now heâs missing.

(8,874 posts)Apparently they don't have to tell anyone who they arrest who they deport and what crime was committed. There is no oversight with Nazis.
