“You got someone who dropped 30 feet because they were scared to death and lost their life,” he said, referring to the farmworker who died in the raids. “People are quite literally disappearing with no due process, no rights.”

Retes was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where he said he was put in a special cell on suicide watch and checked on each day after he became emotionally distraught over his ordeal and missing his 3-year-old daughter’s birthday party Saturday.

He said federal agents never told him why he was arrested or allowed him to contact a lawyer or his family during his three-day detention. Authorities never let him shower or change clothes despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, Retes said, adding that his hands burned throughout the first night he spent in custody.

On Sunday, an officer had him sign a paper and walked him out of the detention center. He said he was told he faced no charges.

“They gave me nothing I could wrap my head around,” Retes said, explaining that he was met with silence on his way out when he asked about being “locked up for three days with no reason and no charges.”

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, confirmed Retes’ arrest but didn’t say on what charges.

“George Retes was arrested and has been released,” she said. “He has not been charged. The U.S. Attorney’s Office is reviewing his case, along with dozens of others, for potential federal charges related to the execution of the federal search warrant in Camarillo.”

A federal judge on Friday ordered the Trump administration to halt indiscriminate immigration stops and arrests without warrants in seven California counties, including Los Angeles. Immigrant advocates accused federal agents of detaining people because they looked Latino. The Justice Department appealed on Monday and asked for the order to be stayed.

>>1420958
The Pentagon also said Tuesday it was ending the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles. That’s roughly half the number the administration sent to the city following protests over the immigration actions. Some of those troops have been accompanying federal agents during their immigration enforcement operations.

Retes said he joined the Army at 18 and served four years, including deploying to Iraq in 2019.

“I joined the service to help better myself,” he said. “I did it because I love this (expletive) country. We are one nation and no matter what, we should be together. All this separation and stuff between everyone is just the way it shouldn’t be.”

Retes said he plans to sue for wrongful detention.

“The way they’re going about this entire deportation process is completely wrong, chasing people who are just working, especially trying to feed everyone here in the U.S.,” he said. “No one deserves to be treated the way they treat people.”

Retes was detained along with California State University Channel Islands professor Jonathan Caravello, also a U.S. citizen, who was arrested for throwing a tear gas canister at law enforcement, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli posted on X.

>>1420959
The California Faculty Association said Caravello was taken away by agents who did not identify themselves nor inform him of why he was being taken into custody. Like Retes, the association said the professor was then held without being allowed to contact his family or an attorney.

Caravello was attempting to dislodge a tear gas canister that was stuck underneath someone’s wheelchair, witnesses told KABC-TV, the ABC affiliate in Los Angeles.

A federal judge on Monday ordered Caravello to be released on $15,000 bond. He’s scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 1.

“I want everyone to know what happened. This doesn’t just affect one person,” Retes said. “It doesn’t matter if your skin is brown. It doesn’t matter if you’re white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran or you serve this country. They don’t care. They’re just there to fill a quota.”

Oh no.

>>1420962
It's legal and no different from any other security job. Sorry you don't understand brutality on US citizens followed by being held without reason or ability to contact anyone is immoral.

>>1420957
And the militias claiming to oppose the Day of the Jackboot say nothing. Hell, they're probably signing their ICE recruitment forms right now.

>>1420963
>It's legal
Not if he was harboring illegals.
Failing to report illegal immigrants is a crime.

>>1420968
Retard he wasn't the owner of the place, he was a security guard.

>*beats you unconscious and smashes up your car*

>>1420969
>wasn't the owner
You don't get it.
"Harboring" also means concealing. If you see an illegal, and you fail to report it, you are committing a felony.
Also, google this guy. He looks 100% like an illegal immigrant.

>>1420970
history will remember you unkindly, fascist faggot

>>1420970
In case you aren't trolling and are 100% serious, even if that was the law it would be impossible to universally enforce, and laws that can only be selectively enforced are just excuses for fascists to arrest whomever they want.

>>1420970
Hey anon, that guy you saw on the side of the street once? He was here illegally. You're going to jail for harboring illegals.

>>1420970
>Also, google this guy. He looks 100% like an illegal immigrant.
So he looks brown. Meaning his arrest was racial profiling and thus, illegal.

>>1420972
>In case you aren't trolling and are 100% serious-

Keyword is 'knowingly'. If he was a security guard, he knew.

>noooo you can't enforce immigration law that's fascism!
Neoconfederate scumfucks thinking they can skirt federal law and employ/hide illegals absolutely deserve to bite the curb.

How would he have known? Is he just supposed to be able to look at people and instantly clock their legal status?

>>1420978
>How would he have known?
I dunno anon, maybe it had something to do with hundreds of illegals working on the farm?

>>1420979
Yeah the hundreds of people with the sign on their back saying "ILLEGAL".

Hell, do we even know they really were "hundreds of illegals"? From this guy alone we know not everyone they arrested were even immigrants.

>>1420980
Yeah you're right there were hundreds of guys from management watching the one illegal immigrant work
Don't be retarded please

>>1420981
Just ignore the horde of protestors they also arrested you fucking retard.

>>1420957
Racial profiling is ok when the secret police do it!

>>1420957
In similar news, a survivor of the pinochet regime had his death faked by ICE to cover up how they disappeared him. They told his family he died when he actually got deported to Guatemala.
>https://www.mcall.com/2025/07/18/luis-leon-allentown-grandfather-ice-guatemala/
He was here legally, btw. But he'd lost his green card and got arrested and deported while trying to get a new one from the immigration office.

>>1420957
>said he was arriving at work on July 10 when several federal agents surrounded his car and — despite him identifying himself as a U.S. citizen — broke his window, peppered sprayed him and dragged him out.
So in other words the police stopped him, he refused to identify himself, they told him to get out of his car, he refused, they had to break his window to open his car door, he was resisting, they had to pepper spray and cuff him. $50 that's what actually happened.

>>1420997
>he refused to identify himself
>despite him identifying himself as a U.S. citizen
Wow, it's really easy to pretend things are justified if you just make up a scenario where it would be and claim that's what actually happened.

>>1420998
>>despite him identifying himself as a U.S. citizen
Because that's all cops ask you when they pull you over, right? His story is full of holes. Until I see an actual video of the arrest I'm calling bullshit. My money is on him being a belligerent asshole to cops when stopped, refused to cooperate and won stupid prizes for playing stupid games - not to mention working as a security guard at a drug farm using child labor.

>>1421000
>Because that's all cops ask you when they pull you over, right?
Retard he wasn't arrested by cops, he was arrested by ICE. He pulled up to work while they were raiding his workplace.

>>1421000
do you get punched in the face a lot

>>1421000
>Until I see an actual video of the arrest I'm calling bullshit
You won't because ICE confiscated and destroyed almost all the videos taken during the raid. Probably to cover up how they killed someone during it considering one of the workers "just so happened" to fall 30 feet while they were raiding the place and died of his injuries in the hospital.

>>1421001
>Retard he wasn't arrested by cops, he was arrested by ICE.
Retard how the fuck do you know that? Were you there at the arrest to witness it? Or did you miss the part where he said “It took two officers" to arrest him? Also the part where "Retes was taken to the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles"... which would be law enforcement.

>>1421004

I'd be more than happy to say it to your face if you're ever in Phoenix.

>>1421000
>My money is on him being a belligerent asshole to cops when stopped, refused to cooperate

He would be charged with resisting arrest if that's the case.

>>1421014
>He would be charged with resisting arrest if that's the case
Maybe you didn't read the article, but that's ok.
They arrested him, he was detained roughly the maximum allowable time someone can be federally detained without filing criminal charges, and then he was then released with a statement that the U.S. Attorney’s Office is reviewing his case for potential federal charges

>>1421015
>he was detained roughly the maximum allowable time someone can be federally detained without filing criminal charges
See the problem with this is California actually has specific laws specifying someone can only be held 48 hours without charges. Therefore what they did to him constitutes a crime in of itself.

>>1421016
>California
It was a federal arrest. He wasn't arranged by local law enforcement, dummy

>>1421016
>California actually has specific laws specifying someone can only be held 48 hours without charges
Oh hey, check this out, armchair lawyer.
Even assuming California law applies, it was still legal.
Ready to get btfo by FACTS?
His arrest was July 10, a Thursday. 48 hours afterwards would he sometime Saturday.
The law you are referencing appears to exclude weekend time as courts are not in session. They could have held him until Monday: https://www.shouselaw.com/ca/defense/penal-code/825/

>>1421023
Oh boy you really did just hang yourself.

First thing that sprung out.
>While defendants are in custody following an arrest, law enforcement officers must allow visits with defense attorneys. Officers who do not allow attorney visits can be charged with a misdemeanor plus a $500 fine payable to the defendant.
>He said federal agents never told him why he was arrested or allowed him to contact a lawyer or his family during his three-day detention

Secondly, you claim they could keep him for an extra 24 hours because courts aren't in session on weekends. Except that's not true and your own citation admits it; courts aren't in session on SUNDAYS. Saturdays are still valid. The 10th was a Thursday, so Saturday would've been the maximum time where 48 hours would've passed and they would've had to release him.
>The 48-hour period tolls (pauses) during court holidays and Sundays.
>Sundays

Nice try you armchair bootlicker.

>>1421021
Yeah even with that in play they still violated his rights by a. not allowing him to contact an attorney, b. never telling him why he was arrested in the first place, c. refusing to let him shower or change clothes despite the tear gas and pepper spray used on him, and d. racially profiling him considering he would've had easy proof he was a citizen otherwise, thus meaning they had no basis for the arrest either

There is no way they had reasonable suspicion to arrest a citizen for immigration offenses. Blatantly illegal arrest.

The standard for ICE arresting someone is supposed to be they have reason to believe they are illegal. Not that they don't have reason to believe they aren't.

>>1421032

show me a single court in the US which regularly has Saturday sessions

>>1421034
Please point out the section of US law that requires that every person legally in this country speaks english as their primary language.

Your entire argument hinges on ignoring everything that you didn't paste from the penal code, and pretending that federal courts are active on Saturday

>>1421037
>>1421039
>The 48-hour period tolls (pauses) during court holidays and Sundays.
Funny, doesn't mention Saturdays for the time extension but DOES mention Sundays specifically.

Just accept you lost retard. You aren't even addressing the part (which also applies to federal court, btw) they have to give him access to an attorney if requested, which they did not.

>>1421030
I'm not surprised that your eyeballs explode when you read something that disagrees with your world view, it's why you selectively copied only a single sentence from the penal code cited in my source and ignored the entire subsequent section which excludes time when court is not in session.

Note how it does not say "excluding WEEKENDS". They never arranged for an arraignment and never bothered even charging him; combined with refusing to let him see an attorney and the groundless basis for arrest, this shit is several layers of illegal in both state and federal court.

>>1421056
Who said anything about naturalization? Do you need to speak english for a work visa all of a sudden?

>>1421063
>Note how it does not say "excluding WEEKENDS".
Correct. It says "in session" which is Monday to Friday for all local and federal courts. It really would have added context if you posted the next statement, instead of cherry picking just a single sentence that makes it appear you are correct
>(2) When the 48 hours prescribed by paragraph (1) expire at a time when the court in which the magistrate is sitting is not in session, that time shall be extended to include the duration of the next court session on the judicial day immediately following. If the 48-hour period expires at a time when the court in which the magistrate is sitting is in session, the arraignment may take place at any time during that session. However, when the defendant’s arrest occurs on a Wednesday after the conclusion of the day’s court session, and if the Wednesday is not a court holiday, the defendant shall be taken before the magistrate not later than the following Friday, if the Friday is not a court holiday.

Any officer having a prisoner in charge, who refuses to allow the attorney to visit the prisoner when proper application is made, shall forfeit and pay to the party aggrieved the sum of five hundred dollars ($500), to be recovered by action in any court of competent jurisdiction.
So one, good luck finding a judge who won't call you out on specifically trying to loophole this to keep someone for 4 days against state law. Two, they would've had to actually arrange an arraignment, which they didn't. They didn't even tell him what he was arrested for.

Oh, and you're also ignoring they violated the shit out of the SECOND clause by refusing to let him contact a lawyer, which is something they don't get out of even on a federal level.

>>1421066

It clearly states otherwise. The 48 hours are not counted in days courts are not in session
Anon, this isn't some arbitrary interpretation, it's literally the word of the law and it's commonly followed. People arrested on Friday do not get a to see a judge on Saturday, they wait until Monday to Tuesday. People arrested on Thursday are not guaranteed to see a judge until Monday.
This is literally normal and is very clearly stated in what you posted.

Repeating your irrelevant comment with more words doesn’t make it more relevant, retard. Nobody’s talking about naturalization.

>>1421083
He didn’t.

>>1421087
>He didn’t
To be fair, we don't actually know what he is accused of doing or the veracity of the claims. At this point only the US attorney who has received the criminal referral, the accused, and the people who arrested him may have any idea of this

>>1421085
> Nobody’s talking about naturalization.
Well, in order to be in our majority english speaking country, you either need to be born here or migrate, the latter of which requires a proficiency with english. And since none of these fucks could scream in english, I guess that narrows down where they came from, doesn't it?

>>1421080
They have to file charges in that time. They didn't; there was never a court date for them to bring him to. They had no intention of bringing him to an arraignment in the first place AND had no probable cause in the first place considering he's a US citizen and a veteran; it's textbook unlawful detention.

>>1421082

>>1421098

This isn't in the context of filing charges at all, this is in the context of detaining him. You can't detain someone for no probable cause, keep him rotting in jail for 3 days, refuse to let him contact his lawyer, and then not even inform him of the charges against him (because there were none).

>>1421056
>It's a key requirement of naturalization.
Not all citizens are naturalized.

>>1421101
>You can't detain someone for no probable cause, keep him rotting in jail for 3 days, refuse to let him contact his lawyer, and then not even inform him of the charges against him (because there were none).
Most of what you said is either false, or only true if you assume yourself to be correct. The only thing you actually said that was true is that yes, he had the right to an attorney and was denied that right which is unconstitutional and I hope he sues them over that.

The rest of what you said is flat out false at worst, or extremely ostensible at best. You don't know what he is accused of, neither to I. He may or may not, but the arresting agency and the US attorney do know what he was accused of, so the probable cause argument is out the window.

As far as your 3 days talking point, we've been over this. State law says that the 48 hour clock is only ticking on days when court is in session. He was arrested on a Thursday, meaning he supposedly would be guaranteed to see a judge by Monday, but was released on Saturday, 1.5 days earlier than the legal requirements

>>1421104
tldr fascist faggot

>>1421104
>You don't know what he is accused of, neither to I.
Neither does he, they never informed him why he was arrested.
> but the arresting agency and the US attorney do know what he was accused of
No they don't. The Trump admin has a history of lying about this to cover up their abuses (See Kilmar Garcia). And considering this was an immigration raid, him being a US citizen (and a vet at that) meant they had no reason to arrest him just as he pulled into work.

And good luck convincing a judge "uh but we actually only had to wait until monday!" when the rest of the arrest and treatment stinks; the way they held him for all that time with no lawyer and no charges reeks of abuse of power.

>>1421106
>Neither does he, they never informed him why he was arrested.
I'm not sure there's any legal requirement that if someone is being detained you need to be told what you are suspected of, I believe the right to know your accusations occur when you have been charged with a crime
>>1421106
>The US attorney doesn't know why he was arrested
Well, the case was referred to him. If he's looked at it he should have an idea.
Neither you or I know why he was arrested tho, but you seem to just be projecting your lack of knowledge onto others.

>>1421106
>And good luck convincing a judge "uh but we actually only had to wait until monday!"
Well that is what the law says considering that judges don't work on weekends, I don't think it would be very hard to convince a judge on that point

>>1421108
>I'm not sure there's any legal requirement that if someone is being detained you need to be told what you are suspected of
it's called reasonable articulable suspicion, and it is a legal requirement, but this administration has been given a loophole allowing them to abscond from legal frameworks because america has been officially purchased by billionaires. do they pay you much?

>>1421007
it's Cali, i dont think newsom allows the police to work together with ICE.

>>1421109
There's so much else wrong with this arrest the fact they held him at all is a violation of his rights. 3 days, especially with forcing him to sleep in clothes covered in pepper spray, gives him enough for pain and suffering.

Funny thing is, your tax dollars will go to paying him.

Oh look, there were police there after all. I find it amazing how the "experts" on /news/ know for a fact that there weren't police at this raid when five seconds on google shows multiple agencies being involved, including firefighters and national guard - yet somehow can't find one cop to control and/or stop traffic on the roads (oh wait, they did).

>>1421016
>See the problem with this is California actually has specific laws specifying someone can only be held 48 hours without charges. Therefore what they did to him constitutes a crime in of itself.
Ever heard of the comedian Eddie Griffin? He went through the same thing when he was arrested for being drunk in California like 20 years ago, got picked up on Friday and had to wait in jail until Monday to see a judge.

>>1421111
>it's called reasonable articulable suspicion
>Reasonable Articulable Suspicion (RAS) is a legal standard that allows law enforcement officers to conduct brief investigative stops or detentions if they have specific, articulable facts that lead them to believe a crime may be occurring, has occurred, or is about to occur. Unlike probable cause, which requires a higher level of evidence for arrests or searches, RAS operates on a lower threshold, enabling officers to act swiftly in dynamic situations
No, this sounds completely different.
You have another theory?

>>1421115
>Ever heard of the comedian Eddie Griffin? He went through the same thing when he was arrested for being drunk in California like 20 years ago, got picked up on Friday and had to wait in jail until Monday to see a judge
You are arguing facts to demagogues.
They don't care what reality is or what the facts are, they've latched onto a single concept and have ignored the nuanced implementation details of it because they are just repeating their talking points blindly.

Yes, 48 hours is considered legally acceptable to hold someone suspected of a crime without filing charges but no, that clock is not ticking over the weekend because no judges or district attorneys are working at that time to process said charges.
The exact law was quoted multiple times in this thread stating that the 48 hours excludes days which are holidays, or when courts are not open (such as weekdays)

They are absolutely correct though in saying he hard a right to a lawyer and he was denied that right. That was the civil rights violation that occurred.

>>1421115

>>1421117
>They are absolutely correct though in saying he hard a right to a lawyer and he was denied that right. That was the civil rights violation that occurred.
I'm just asking, but does that still apply if he wasn't charged with a crime? If they just hold you and let you go afterwards? Obviously now that he's out he can get a lawyer and sue for an unlawful detention.

>>1421119
Honestly though, this defense mechanism of yours, calling everyone else names when you lose an argument, is a really psychologically unhealthy way that prevents yourself from coming to terms with errors in your belief

>>1421121
>I'm just asking, but does that still apply if he wasn't charged with a crime?
That's a good question, but I'm fairly certain at any point in the process you have a right to an attorney, even if they were to show up to your house and search it and bring you outside to wait I don't think they could legally prevent you from requesting legal counsel

>>1421121
>I'm just asking, but does that still apply if he wasn't charged with a crime? If they just hold you and let you go afterwards?
Yes. Because if you are held by authorities, you have a right to contact a lawyer and they cannot deny you that right.

>>1421121
I'm googling it and I don't actually see a clear answer.
Miranda writes kick in even without charges, but only if you are being interrogated.
The sixth amendment right to council is only triggered when charges are formally brought against oneself.
Reading escodido vs Illinois It does seem to have been a right confirmed by the supreme Court https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/378/478/

>>1421125
>writes
Lol, voice to text.
But yeah, it appears to have been confirmed in escodido vs Illinois

>>1421126
>>1421125
Oh wait I take that back Escodido versus Illinois focuses on being interrogated much like the Miranda vs Arizona (Miranda rights) does

To be honest, I can't find any evidence of this being argued in front of the supreme Court, it doesn't apply as worded to the sixth or fourteenth but I would strongly suspect that if someone (the guy in the news article) took it to the supreme Court It would probably be ruled that the right is implied.

>>1421124
This was definitely what I thought up to about 30 minutes ago, but apparently it's a legal gray area if they haven't pressed charges and they are not interrogating you.
I actually can't find anything that states you have a right to legal counsel if you are not being interrogated and you are not being charged with a crime, regardless of detention status.

It'd be interested if you can find something that says that though, I honestly thought it was the case but I can't find any supporting evidence

They can detain you for reasonable suspicion, e.g working on a farm that's harboring illegal immigrants.

That they're not there to enforce immigration, but rather to remain "on scene to "de-escalate tensions, move pedestrians out of the roadway, and allow emergency vehicles safe passage."" ... For example arresting a jackass security guard that's being a piece of shit. "Working together" with ICE to make sure people don't do dumb shit like shoot at federal agents or try to drive onto an area that's blocked off because of a federal raid to shut down an illegal drug farm using child labor that involves multiple agencies.

You're assuming he's telling the truth. You're also assuming it was the LAPD and not a Ventura County Sheriff. Or a DEA agent, or an FBI agent, or any of the dozen of agencies involved in this - All of which had access to the metropolitan detention center they dropped him off at, which is run by law enforcement.

The problem with your absolute dogshit attempt at damage control is the part where the "repeating misinformation" contradicts the edited quote you made.

The police were there "working together" with ICE, along firefighters, NG, and too many federal agencies to bother listing. No matter how hard you try to cut up quotes to act like ICE was all alone during that raid. Cope, seethe, dialate, self-terminate.

Except that's the same semantics LAPD uses.

It still fucks me up that so many anons here are trying to use legal arguments why it was a bad thing for this farm filled with illegal immigrants to be raided

And you know this how? Please show me their working permits. You know that's required per California law.

Yes tell me more how working with psychoactive drugs isn't hazardous to children.
>Wasn't the people getting black bagged.
First off, I love how you used the phrase "black bagged". Second, the person still hasn't been caught yet so we don't know his affiliation with the farm other than he's willing to kill police over it.
>I stand corrected. Still doesn't fit, though.
It's still a crime, even if you think "the crime ain't even a crime".

>>1421263

I dunno, how do you know they don't? You're the one claiming they don't have any permits without evidence, retard.
>Yes tell me more how working with psychoactive drugs isn't hazardous to children.
You remind me of the cops that think they'll just drop dead if they're in the same room as some fentanyl.

Thanks.
>Second, the person still hasn't been caught yet so we don't know his affiliation with the farm other than he's willing to kill police over it.
Great. That's irrelevant.

That's what I just said. "Still doesn't fit" as in the punishment doesn't fit the crime.

>>1421262
Also California has some very, VERY strict laws for owning a marijuana farm for commercial use. It's HIGHLY regulated. I'm going through the weeds (pun intended) of these regulations right now, and it specifically shows employees must be 21 or over.

It's funny how selective you are about the laws you want to follow.

>I dunno, how do you know they don't? You're the one claiming they don't have any permits without evidence, retard.
LMAO well retard, turns out I don't need evidence of their workers permits after all, per my last post, because anyone under 21 years old working on a marijuana farm in California IS ILLEGAL.
>You remind me of the cops that think they'll just drop dead if they're in the same room as some fentanyl.
And you remind me of a typical democrat who thinks the laws don't apply to him.
>Thanks.
Yes because that's totally what happened. No bad-faith imagery there.
>Great. That's irrelevant.
No it's highly relevant. This is what you democrats do all the time: blatant illegal shit like shooting at police or using child labor on drug farms - and then when you get caught you cry "YOU CAN'T DO THAT I KNOW MY RIGHTS!!!" (lol you don't).

You dems have some of the most hilarious terms for people being arrested. It's like you're intentionally flipping it so the cops are criminals and you're victims of a crime, instead of the truth where you're criminals and they're stopping crimes.
