Video of a landscaper being taken down, pinned and repeatedly punched by masked federal agents in Orange County has gone viral online, and Alejandro Barranco finds it painful to watch.

The Marine veteran says his father, Narciso Barranco, was working outside of a Santa Ana IHOP on Saturday when several masked men approached him. Frightened, he began to run away, his son said. Moments later, he was on the ground, held down by the men, who struck him.

The younger Barranco told The Times on Sunday that his father was pepper sprayed and beaten, and that his shoulder was dislocated. After speaking with him Sunday at about 6 p.m., Barranco said his father had not received medical treatment, food or water after more than 24 hours in a detention facility in Los Angeles.

“I don’t think it was just, I don’t think it was fair,” Barranco said of the use of force against his father. “I don’t think they need four 200 [pounds]-plus guys to hold down a 5-6 or 5-7, 150-pound guy.”

8. The Trump-Miller Gestapo was recruited from rabid vigilante groups who are eager to hurt people.

They’re just more of the J6 terrorists.

9. " You don't think it was fair"

If that was my father I'd have more than a few words for them. I'd spend quite a bit of time finding out who exactly these thugs were. This is why they wear masks. These guys are going to spend a lot of time looking over their shoulder.

14. Barbaric

I honestly don't blame him for being afraid and running. What are we becoming?

[Puppyjive]

15. What is really sad

The majority of my veteran friends voted for this. They had turned on the democrats years ago. These people could not get over the fact that during covid, the military was ordered to get vaccinated or get out of the service. Vaccinations were not an issue when I served. You didn't object, you just took your shots. The consequences of their vote is now haunting them.

17. While at a weekly protest in the OC yesterday,

we were approached and given a QR code with information on helping to fight ICE.

This may be it:
