Arrested protestor overhears ICE thugs discuss potential fake charges [View all]
Garcia said the officers seemed surprised when he told them he was a U.S. citizen, but they still decided to arrest him. He was first taken to a holding area at Dodger Stadium, where he overheard agents discussing how many people theyd grabbed.
"Like, 'How many bodies did you guys get today?' And one of them said 31, and they started like, 'Yay! It was a good day today.' And they were like, high-fiving each other," Garcia said.
Garcia said he also overheard officers talking about potential charges they could slap him with.
At first it was assault of a federal agent, but only later, the narrative started switching because the video was out, Garcia said.
Some 24 hours later, Garcia was finally released. Despite the circumstances, he told ABC 7 it would have been well worth it if it gave undocumented migrants a window of opportunity to flee and find their families.
