Description

Adrian Andrew Martinez, a U.S. citizen born in Los Angeles, was detained outside his job at Walmart by ICE agents in tactical gear who wrestled him to the ground. Officials denied knowledge of his whereabouts. Released on $5,000 bond and charged with conspiracy - lawyers called it 'a clearly trumped up charge filed to justify the federal agents' violent treatment.'
