Platinum Contributing Member steve from amherst Posted August 20, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 20, 2018 A man who was driving his pregnant wife to the hospital on Wednesday was detained because of an outstanding warrant for his arrest in Mexico related to a homicide case, according to immigration officials. Joel Arrona-Lara and his wife, María del Carmen Venegas, had scheduled a cesarean section and were headed to the hospital when they stopped for gas in San Bernardino, Calif. After pulling into the gas station, surveillance footage shows two other vehicles pulling in and surrounding the couple's van on either side. Venegas told CBS Los Angeles that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials got out of the other vehicles and asked for identification from the couple. While Venegas had hers and gave it to them, her husband had left his at home. When Arrona-Lara could not provide his ID, Venegas says the agents asked him to step out of the vehicle and took him into custody. Seen visibly upset on the surveillance footage, Venegas was left alone at the station and forced to drive herself to the hospital to give birth to her fifth child, Damian. ICE spokeswoman Lori Haley said Arrona-Lara "was brought to ICE's attention due to an outstanding warrant issued for his arrest in Mexico on homicide charges," in a statement on Saturday.

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 21, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 21, 2018 But he said the murder charge was a case of mistaken identity so I guess they should have just let him go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
