U.S. citizen released, no assault charges after violent ICE arrest in L.A. County [View all]

Adrian Martinez, a 20-year-old U.S. citizen who was violently taken into custody by ICE agents in Pico Rivera, has been released from federal detention on a $5,000 bond, his attorneys announced Friday.

“We’re very grateful our client will be released today,” said attorneys from the Miller Law Group. “Adrian did nothing wrong, and was standing up for an elderly janitorial worker when he was violently assaulted and abducted by masked federal agents.”

“U.S. Attorney Essayli and U.S. Border Patrol Sector Chief Gregory Bovino outrageously alleged that Adrian assaulted a federal agent. However, he has not been charged with an assault charge because he didn’t assault anyone, and the evidence of that is clear,” the law group said in a statement. “Instead, he has been charged with conspiracy to impede or injure an officer, a felony. This is a clearly trumped-up charge filed to justify the federal agents’ violent treatment of Adrian.”

The Miller Law Group said it plans to release more details in the coming days but added that for now, they are “happy that Adrian will be able to get some rest and spend the weekend at home with his family.”

"We don't need no stinking 1st and 4th amendment"

These go to made up charges they use need to be challenged repeatedly until they can no longer be used because nazis like these have no understanding or respect of civil civil liberties.
