Federal immigration agents detained a man in Cypress Park on Tuesday whose toddler was strapped into the back seat of his vehicle, according to video shared with The Times. After two agents climbed into his car along with their weapons they drove off with the child as onlookers protested.
The 32-year-old man who was detained during the enforcement operation at a Home Depot was a U.S. citizen, according to an immigration lawyer who spoke with his family.
A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told The Times on Tuesday night that the man allegedly exited his vehicle wielding a hammer and threw rocks at law enforcement while he had a child in his car.
He was arrested for assault and during his arrest a pistol was found in his car, that is reported stolen out of the state of New York, the statement read. The individual has an active warrant for property damage.
Border Patrol agents had been conducting a targeted immigration enforcement operation at Home Depot, which led to the arrests of five undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Guatemala, according to the unidentified spokesperson. DHS said their criminal histories included DUI, driving without a license, and prior removal from the country.

Wonder how soon we find out some of the "evidence" was planted.
Kidnapping that little one-- if that kid isn't returned to the parents soon, it might be time for charges and lawsuits to be filed.
