ICE tears apart a Southern California family [View all]

This story has been on top of news here is San Diego for the past couple of days. It's heartbreaking, and cruel. I just donated to their gofundme page: Duarte Children Living Expenses

(KGTV) -- A tight-knit family of six torn apart in National City. Now, four kids are left all on their own while their parents sit in a detention cell.

Activist and supporters rallied outside the Otay Mesa Detention Center on Friday.

Front and center was 19-year-old Francisco Duarte.

Duarte says he's suddenly the head of his 'broken' family.

"My little sister, she came screaming to my room and I came out and both my parents were in handcuffs and my father was on top of a Tahoe hands behind his back," he said.

Duarte says undercover federal immigration agents, in unmarked cars, showed up outside their home in National City Tuesday and arrested his parents. ICE denies that claim to 10News.
