George Retes  /  Immigration

“I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.”

Story Summary:

George is a US citizen and Army veteran who served in Iraq and was jailed by ICE and held for three days without an explanation, causing him to miss his daughter’s third birthday. He was tear gassed, had his car window shattered, and was zip-tied while officers kneeled on his neck and back. Today, he says he still believes in what the flag stands for, but he’s seeking accountability so that what happened to him can’t happen to anyone else.
