https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/17/us/legal-resident-arrested.htmlJose Luis Garcia was watering his lawn and drinking his morning coffee outside his home in Southern California last Sunday when federal immigration authorities showed up.
Mr. Garcia a 62-year-old Mexican immigrant who has been a legal resident since the 1980s, according to his family shouted for help.
He spilled his coffee on the sidewalk as agents arrested him, said his daughter Natalie Garcia, who ran outside and saw her father handcuffed. She said the authorities told her they had a warrant for his arrest related to a misdemeanor domestic violence charge that was resolved nearly two decades ago.
They are kidnapping people from their home, starting with my father, who has the legal status, said Ms. Garcia, 32.
