A Marine Corps veteran says he feels betrayed after his father was beaten and arrested by masked federal agents while working at his landscaping job, caught up in one of the ongoing ICE workplace raids that advocates say have left immigrant communities terrified and on edge.

Alejandro Barranco told CNN Monday that his father, Narciso Barranco, was detained by federal agents Saturday afternoon while working as a landscaper at an IHOP in Santa Ana, California. The 25-year-old Marine veteran said his father was born in Mexico and has lived in the US since the 90s. He is undocumented but has no criminal record, his son said.

    “I don’t think the way this is going is right,” the veteran said. “I do believe in a better system. I believe that people like my dad, like my mom, like any parent or close family member of any law enforcement officer or military member, I think they should have a way easier and better access to a legal status.”

    Not a strong stance.
