Judge dismisses deportation case against father of 3 US Marines: Lawyer
ABC News
Narciso Barranco's forcible arrest was captured on video.
An immigration judge has dismissed removal proceedings against Narciso Barranco, an undocumented father of 3 U.S. Marines, who was detained while at his landscaping job in California last summer, his attorney told ABC News.
Barranco's violent arrest in front of an IHOP was captured on camera. The Department of Homeland Security accused him of threatening agents with a weed trimmer as they were attempting to detain him -- claims his family pushed back on at the time.
On Thursday, Barranco's attorney, Lisa Ramirez who is also running for Congress in California, told ABC News her client has a pending application for Parole in Place, a program that allows some immediate relatives of veterans to apply for legal status. If his petition is approved, he may then be able to apply for a green card.
"Here's a man who raised three US citizen Marine sons, men who put their lives on the line for the protection of this country and our freedom and everything else that we stand for in principle," Ramirez said. "To have their father apprehended in one of the most brutal ways imaginable was a slap in the face."
ABC News has requested comment from DHS about the case.
