Jose Luis Garcia was watering his lawn and drinking his morning coffee outside his home in Southern California last Sunday when federal immigration authorities showed up.
Mr. Garcia a 62-year-old Mexican immigrant who has been a legal resident since the 1980s, according to his family shouted for help.
He spilled his coffee on the sidewalk as agents arrested him, said his daughter Natalie Garcia, who ran outside and saw her father handcuffed. She said the authorities told her they had a warrant for his arrest related to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge that was resolved nearly two decades ago.
They are kidnapping people from their home, starting with my father, who has the legal status, said Ms. Garcia, 32.
A week later, Mr. Garcia was still being held by immigration officials, and his family was preparing to spend Father's Day without him.Mr. Garcia and his family are among those who have been swept up in the Trump administration's immigration policy, which cracks down not only on illegal immigrants but also on legal residents. After Trump promised that Mexico would pay for 'his wall' he wants the American taxpayer to accept the burden of paying for another one of his many failed campaign promises.
