‘Devastated’ family demands answers after two-year-old driven by armed agents from LA Home Depot parking lot
Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat.
The child’s grandmother said the incident had left the whole family shaken. “I am devastated by what has happened to my son and demand an explanation,” she said at a press conference on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old father was picked up during a major enforcement operation at the Home Depot in LA’s Cypress Park neighborhood on Tuesday morning. According to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), five undocumented immigrants were also arrested.
Police usually call a family member or something to come pick up the child at the scene or, at the worst, call CPS. Can’t even hold themselves to US cop standards.
“Your kid is at the station” is a pretty common way to do just that.
Nothing says “I believe movies are real life” more than what you wrote there.
I’m sorry, you think it’s normal for federal agents to drive away in a citizens car WITH a child in it?
Not to mention it was a 1 year old, and the family doesn’t know what happened with the child during the HOURS they had here I their custody.
Cops don’t even drive away in your car, even if it’s evidence. They have to have it towed.
Yeah, just imagine what would happen if he had gotten in an accident. Even ignoring abducting the child, can you imagine what a mess that insurance report would be?
But they’re not cops! They’re masked ice agents ✨ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn’t that mean they have the presidents permission to break the rules?
I’m sure if it happened to them they would be totally cool about it and completely understanding with the unidentified masked men taking off in their car with their 2yo in the back seat. I mean, who wouldn’t be? Lol
When the kid has been arrested, yes.
