MAGA - What a country! [View all]

?w=420&h=219


Her husband Joel Arrona was driving his wife to the hospital for a scheduled Cesarean section Wednesday afternoon when they had to stop to get gas. That’s when their car was approached by two SUVs. Maria said they were officers with Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The mother of five was then asked to show her identification and complied. When the agents asked Arrona, the couple said he didn’t have the ID on him, but that they lived nearby and could go get it for them. The agents then asked Arrona to exit the vehicle, searched the car for weapons, and put Arrona into custody, leaving Maria alone at the gas station.

Security video shows her visibly upset inside the convenience store.

Maria told CBS2 Arrona has never been stopped by police, and that he’s never been in trouble with the law, not even for a ticket. Maria ended up having to drive herself to the hospital to deliver the baby.
