A former Marine says he feels “betrayed” by the
U.S. after seeing a video on social media of his
father being pinned to the ground and repeatedly
punched by a federal immigration agent in
Santa Ana on Saturday.
Narciso Barranco, the 48-year-old landscaper who
was seized off the street, has three sons who are
U.S. Marines, including two on active duty, the
oldest son, 25-year-old Alejandro Barranco, said
in an interview on Sunday.
The two other sons are currently stationed at Camp
Pendleton, he said.
“I feel betrayed,” Alejandro Barranco said. “My dad
has no criminal history. He wasn’t doing anything
bad. He was just working. The way they (federal
agents) attacked him, I don’t think it’s right.”
His father was in the process of applying for a form
of immigration called parole-in-place, which can grant
family members of active-duty military who are without
legal status permission to stay in the U.S. for a
while, usually a year, and which can be extended,
Alejandro Barranco said.
