South Bay immigrant family says federal agents took away two relatives in East Palo Alto

"EAST PALO ALTO, Calif. - A South Bay immigrant family says federal agents confronted three relatives on Monday morning and that they had taken away two of them while they were in East Palo Alto.

Now one of them, a woman, is being treated at Stanford Medical Center.

Family members identified her by first name as Yenycey, a 47-year-old mother of three.

They said she'll be released from the hospital in the coming days, but they fear that federal agents will arrest her as soon as that happens.

What we know:
Her husband Oscar, who asked that his last name not be used, shared a video that he shot of the confrontation.

In the video, there's audio of a woman screaming.

It shows a group of men pulling a woman out of a vehicle in front of a home in East Palo Alto on Monday morning around 7:30, and putting her into another vehicle."

........

With the help of an interpreter, Oscar spoke to KTVU on the condition that his face is not shown.

He said the men made his wife kneel on the ground, handcuffed her and that's when she fainted.
