Adrián Andrew Martínez, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen who was violently detained by ICE agents in Pico Rivera, was released from federal detention on Friday after paying $5,000 bail.

Martínez was violently attacked on Tuesday when he was defending the detention of a cleaning worker in front of a Walmart in Pico Rivera.

“We are very grateful that our client is being released today,” Miller Law Group attorneys stated. “Adrian did nothing wrong and was defending an elderly janitor when he was violently assaulted and kidnapped by masked federal agents.”

On Thursday, other masked agents violently arrested Job Garcia, 37, who was filming a raid at a Home Depot store in Hollywood.

Agents kneeling on his back and hands squeezing his neck were seen in the viral video of Garcia’s arrest, and he was taken to the outskirts of Dodger Stadium where masked agents were holding the 31 immigrants arrested that day.

Job Garcia was released on Friday. No charges were filed.

With all the cruelty in the world, once again, Border Patrol (CBP) officers forcibly removed Latino electrician Arturo Hermosillo from his work car while he was filming a raid in the parking lot of a Lowe's store in Pacoima, in the San Fernando Valley.

Michael Carrillo, a criminal defense attorney, compared the potential civil rights violations committed by ICE agents who, without a warrant, cover their faces, use long weapons, and use full force to subdue people they believe are immigrants and who violate immigration law by crossing the border without permission.

“Crossing the border is not a criminal offense. It's just a misdemeanor. It's not a felony. It's an administrative case,” he said. "To me, those officers continue to violate the constitutional law of this country and are waiting until a court tells them to stop."

However, he admitted that, without having that order from a federal judge,officers will continue to violate the rights of everyone in California and other states.

The difficulty in obtaining that order lies in the absolute power that the Republican Party has in the executive, legislative and judicial branches, in addition to the Supreme Court.

“Yes, it will be difficult, but they do not have 100% control of the people and the streets,” he added. “The law is very clear, they cannot detain a person solely because of the color of their skin [racial profiling]. That is the law these agents are violating.”

Solution: Immigration Reform

Mario Trujillo, attorney and city councilman from Downey, considered that the only solution to the cruelty and discrimination of the raids carried out by the federal government is the need for immigration reform, which has not occurred for more than four decades.

“These raids do not focus on criminals, gang members, or rape cartels, but on undocumented immigrants, people of color, violating the Fourth Amendment of the Constitution.”

Trujillo stated that another way to stop the raids is to sue the government for the abuses they are committing against arrested immigrants and encourage them to seek legal representation.

“They are carrying out discriminatory raids based on the color of the skin of the people, which is prohibited by the Constitution. It is a violation of the Fourth Amendment.”

The Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government.

It also requires that search warrants be based on probable cause and be specifically detailed as to the place, persons, and things to be seized. This means that, in most cases, police need a warrant before they can search your home or belongings.

“No Secret Police Act”

San Francisco Democratic State Senator Scott Weiner and Berkeley Assemblyman Jesse Arreguin have introduced SB 627, the “No Secret Police Act,” in California.

The legislation emerged as a reaction to immigration raids across the country carried out by masked, plainclothes officers who increasingly refuse to identify themselves by name or the agency they work for.

The measure—while it does not stop immigration raids—prohibits law enforcement at all levels from wearing face coverings during operations in California.

It also requires officers to be identifiable by their uniform, either by name or another identifier.

As the Trump Administration expands the use of secret police tactics,SB 627 promotes transparency and supports public safety by strengthening public trust in law enforcement.

“Recent federal operations in California have created an environment of profound fear,” Senator Scott Wiener said in a statement. “If we want the public to trust law enforcement, we cannot allow them to behave like secret police in an authoritarian state.”

Masked agents from various federal agencies, including HSI, ICE, the FBI, the DEA, and alleged hired “bounty hunters,” have violently arrested both undocumented immigrants and U.S. citizens.
