A left-wing anti-ICE terrorist was arrested on Saturday in Santa Ana, California ,after attacking ICE agents with a weed wacker, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said.
Video of the incident shows the masked man, Narciso Barranco, who was reportedly working as a landscaper, running at agents with a deadly weed whacker. The incident reportedly sparked more anti-ICE protests in the Los Angeles area.

However, local leftwing rag, KTLA, ignored the weapon and reported that the man was the “victim” of a “violent incident” and that he was forced into the back of an unmarked car by “alleged federal immigration officers,” as if he had been kidnapped.
Via KTLA:
In a graphic video that has since gone viral on social media, about seven or more masked men wearing U.S. Border Patrol vests are seen violently detaining a father in Santa Ana before forcing him into the back of an unmarked car on Saturday.
The violent incident sparked protests in the following hours, and an online fundraiser was started through GoFundMe, where family members identified the victim as Tustin resident Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines.
One of his sons, 25-year-old Alejandro Barranco, told KTLA that his father was pepper-sprayed in addition to repeatedly being punched in the face during his detention. According to Alejandro, Narciso was picked up by alleged federal immigration officers while he was working as a landscaper at the IHOP on Edinger Avenue and Ritchey Street.
“He is a good, hard working man. He has raised his family here and has established himself here,” reads the GoFundMe page. “Please help the Barranco family with whatever you can to ensure he is able to receive the proper legal counsel to represent him.” As of Saturday evening, Alejandro was working on getting in contact with his father.
Similarly, the leftist media recently accused ICE agents of a “hit-and-run” and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon (car) after they arrested a rioter who DHS says punched a Border Patrol agent.
DHS punched back at the latest hoax:
He ASSAULTED federal law enforcement with a WEED WHACKER. Perhaps the mainstream media would like our officers to stand there and be mowed down instead of defending themselves?
What a completely slanted portrayal of what actually happened.

DHS revealed last week that ICE agents are now facing a 500% increase in assaults. The Fake News Media’s villainization of law enforcement only contributes to this stat.
New data reveals that ICE law enforcement is now facing a 500% increase in assaults while carrying out enforcement operations.
Make no mistake, sanctuary politicians are contributing to the surge in assaults of our ICE officers through their repeated vilification and…
