Marine vet says his dad is traumatized after immigration arrest in OC

A Marine veteran whose father was detained by federal agents in Santa Ana told Congress that his father is "deeply devoted to this country" and is traumatized by what happened.

WASHINGTON (KABC) -- A Marine veteran whose father was forcibly detained by federal agents in Santa Ana told Congress Tuesday that his father is "deeply devoted to this country" and is traumatized by what happened.

"My father has no criminal record and should have never been attacked by these agents," Alejandro Barranco told Democratic members of the House Committee on Homeland Security. "He supported his family and paid taxes. He is a human being, but he was not treated with the basic dignity he deserved."

Barranco made the comments during an oversight forum examining the Trump administration's detention and deportation practices. He also said he believes the current immigration system is "broken."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A former Marine, who is trained to withstand tremendous rigors, nearly unlivable conditions in hostile environments, and possible POW existence, is "traumatized" by this?  Give me a f*cking break. :3: This is a political lie and nothing more.
