US vet George Retes sued after wrongful detention during a Southern California immigration raid.

US Army veteran and citizen George Retes was detained during an immigration raid at a Southern California marijuana farm, where over 360 people were taken into custody. Despite proving his U.S. citizenship, Retes was sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray before being arrested. He was held for three days without charges, legal representation, or contact with his family. Retes intends to sue for wrongful detention. The raids, part of a larger immigration crackdown, have caused fear among immigrant communities.
