**Father Released After Detention During Immigration Raid at Cypress Park Home Depot**

*CYPRESS PARK, LOS ANGELES (KABC)* — A father is reunited with his family after being detained during an immigration raid at a Cypress Park Home Depot. Federal agents reportedly drove off in his car with his baby still in the backseat.

The 32-year-old father, who is a U.S. citizen, was released after two days in custody. He was detained last Tuesday following allegations that he threw rocks at agents during the raid.

According to witnesses, agents then took off in his vehicle, with his 1-year-old daughter still inside.

“There’s a baby in the back! Yeah, bro, and the guy was doing absolutely nothing, bro,” a witness said while recording the incident on a cellphone video.

The footage shows the child seated in the backseat, with two masked federal agents in the front of the vehicle.

Fortunately, the baby was later released to her family. Her grandmother reported that the child had a bruised cheek but was otherwise okay.

Message from Peaks Island: Ignore the noise and build community | Letter

Leave a comment

These times are overwhelming politically. I am writing to encourage everyone to not buy into the noise. Instead, focus on what you can do locally.

Maybe it’s reaching out to a neighbor in some way to help build your community. Here on Peaks Island, we are baking cookies and selling homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches at concerts and other public events. So far, we’ve raised over $3,000 to support the immigrant community.

While this may not seem like much, the $30 provided by Mainers for Humane Immigration to an illegally detained person’s commissary account can mean the difference between not eating for two days—because the jail’s kitchen is, for whatever reason, not operational—and having a meal.

Help where you can.

Margaret Mead once said,
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
