A Reseda high school student who was arrested by immigration agents Aug. 8 and is being held in a detention facility told a former teacher that he overheard the masked men who seized him brag among themselves that they would receive $1,500 for his arrest, the instructor said.

On Tuesday afternoon, activists and educators rallied outside Los Angeles Unified School District headquarters to call for the immediate release of 18-year-old Benjamin Guerrero-Cruz, who lives with his family in Van Nuys.

Guerrero-Cruz spoke at length Sunday with Lizette Becerra, his former English language development teacher, who visited him Sunday at the federal Adelanto detention center.

At the rally, Becerra said the student described to her how he overheard the agents boasting about the money they would receive for capturing him. Guerrero-Cruz told Becerra that the agents said it was "lucky for him, for them, they would be able to have drinks that weekend," she said, recounting her conversation with the student.

At least real bounty hunters, or bail enforcement agents, are licensed professionals hired to track down and apprehend individuals who have fled after being released on bail. These goons are simply profiling innocent people and kidnapping them.
