ICE Detains Father of 5 at Gunpoint in Wilmington, Family Alleges Aggressive Tactics

ICE Arrest of Father of Five

• 🎯 Cesar Paro, a 56-year-old father of five, was detained by federal agents outside his Wilmington home.
• 💥 The arrest, captured on surveillance, shows an agent pointing a gun at Paro, kicking him, and ordering him into an SUV.
• 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Paro's family states he has lived in the U.S. for 30 years, has no criminal record, and is a hardworking family man.

Family's Concerns and Potential Cause

• 💔 Paro's daughter, Beatrice Campoyos, believes the agents' behavior was unnecessarily aggressive.
• ⚖️ She suspects a 1994 wrongful arrest, which was dismissed, might be why her father was on ICE's radar.
• 📄 An immigration attorney advises carrying documentation for any past arrests, dismissed or otherwise, as ICE records may not be updated.

Broader Immigration Context

• 🚨 The arrest follows a Supreme Court decision allowing ICE to resume roving patrols in Los Angeles and surrounding counties.
• 🏛️ The legal battle between the city of Los Angeles and the Trump administration regarding these patrols is ongoing in federal court.
• ⚠️ Until a ruling is issued, individuals are advised to carry all relevant documentation regarding their immigration status and any past legal encounters.
