💨 Abstract

George Retes is a 25-year veteran and citizen of California who was detained by federal immigration agents while trying to reach his workplace, a legal marijuana plantation, causing him to miss his 3-year-old daughter's birthday. Workers at the plantation historically did not have issues with immigration agents. The plant's owner did verify that a legal order was served against it. Retes was sobbing while he talked with CNN on the phone.
