Narciso Barranco, 48, a landscaper from Tustin in Southern California, was left bloodied and visibly shaken after being violently detained by at least seven alleged immigration officers while working outside of an IHOP on Saturday.
In one short video first posted by Santa Ana councilman Johnathan Hernandez and the social Instagram account @Santaanaproblems, alleged Customs and Border Protection agents struck Barranco in the head at least six times, thrusting his face into the concrete and kneeling on his neck, before he was forced into the back of a light-colored Chevrolet SUV using a truncheon.
Barranco’s shoulder was left dislocated, his eldest son, Alejandro, a 25-year-old Marine veteran, told the Los Angeles Times.
Alejandro Barranco, who served with the Marine Corps in Afghanistan, told the Santanero that his father was transferred to a detention facility in LA.

Attacking marine dads. This is perfect, in the sense that if marines weren’t already on the side of the people, they are now. Hope this guy recovers well, because the shoulder is one thing… but this is also an emotionally traumatizing experience
270k marines in the US. If they all just stop following Trump’s demands, that would be something huh?
Some of them will change their minds. But I suspect that many will be fine with it for the same reason they don’t care about any other lines being crossed - the victim is brown.
