A Nicaraguan immigrant and his family have been barricaded at home for days after he outran ICE agents

Roberto Reyes had barely left his Fontana, California, apartment and was just a block down the road on his way to work when four white cars swarmed him, boxing in his vehicle. Within moments, the 32-year-old father frantically looked for an escape as he noticed an immigration officer hop out of one of the cars. Tapping into his survival instincts, Reyes spotted a gap between the vehicles and fled, leaving his wallet, keys and other belongings inside the car. As he ran back to his apartment, Reyes said he called his wife and daughter to open the door – all while the agents chased him, not far behind. In security camera video from Reyes' apartment, the Nicaraguan immigrant can be seen narrowly escaping the agents' grasp as he rushed inside his apartment and shut the door. Reyes along with his wife, three children, and mother-in-law, have been barricaded inside their home for more than a week out of fear of being detained by immigration agents. They arrived from Nicaragua three years ago, seeking asylum. 'We are afraid and we've seen there are cases where they separate the children, their parents are deported, the children are left here, that is my fear,' Reyes said. Officers seen kicking door and waving keys in front of camera After Reyes shut the door to his apartment on July 30, one of the agents fiercely kicked the front door multiple times as if trying to break it down, the security footage shows. 'But I was at the door holding it because they were doing everything they could to get in,' Reyes said, noting his daughter hit her head as she tried to help keep the door shut. Later, an officer appears to be taunting Reyes by waving a set of keys in front of one of the security cameras installed outside the family's apartment. A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson confirmed federal immigration agents attempted to detain Reyes last week. He was described as a 'dangerous criminal illegal alien from Nicaragua with a criminal history including assault with a deadly weapon, exhibiting a deadly weapon, and disturbing the peace.' Reyes told CNN he was wrongfully accused in relation to an incident with a neighbor and the case has been dismissed. CNN reached out to the San Bernardino County Superior Court to confirm the case was dismissed. Since his encounter with immigration agents, Reyes said no warrant or summons has been presented to him or his family. But the agents have not stopped approaching their apartment and the family has seen unknown cars parked near or in his apartment building's parking lot, he said. 'They send infiltrators to knock on my door to see if we're there, they park in some parking spaces,' Reyes said. Isolated but bolstered with community support Neither Reyes, who is an electrician, has been able to go to work, nor his children have attended school. They are also worried about his mother-in-law who is recovering from lung surgery and could need medical care. The incident and the isolation have started to weigh on their mental health. Even hearing a knock on the door has become traumatic for Reyes' family, they said. 'My wife seems anxious, she has not been able to sleep, she is very skinny, she has not been able to eat,' Reyes said. Reyes' daughter said her worst nightmare is that immigration agents would enter the apartment and take her mother. In the past days, community members and a local immigration coalition have rallied to support the family through the ordeal. Javier Hernandez, executive director for the Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice, said he was able to bring the family food, personal hygiene items and water. 'Our first thought again, was their well-being … their physical well-being, 'Do they have water? Do they have food?'' Hernandez said. Now, the organization is set on trying to figure out how to keep the family in the country. Reyes and his family left Nicaragua after being persecuted for their political activism, and sought asylum at the southern border, Hernandez said. At the time, the family sought an immigration attorney for their asylum case but couldn't afford the high fees. They were asked for an initial payment of $8,000 with a total fee amounting to $25,000 for their entire family, Reyes said. 'I was the only one supporting my wife and my children, and we didn't have the resources to pay a lawyer, and so we can't afford one,' Reyes said, adding he wants to continue his application process. For now, Reyes said he is willing to stay at home as long as is needed and do whatever is in his hands. 'I want to work legally, go forward and provide for my children,' Reyes said.

Lopez: 'Silence is violence': Teachers, retirees, first-time activists stand up to immigration raids

'Thank you so much for showing up this morning,' Sharon Nicholls said into a megaphone at 8 a.m. Wednesday outside a Home Depot in Pasadena. As of Friday afternoon, no federal agents had raided the store on East Walnut Street. But the citizen brigade that stands watch outside and patrols the parking lot in search of ICE agents has not let down its guard—especially not after raids at three other Home Depots in recent days despite federal court rulings limiting sweeps. About two dozen people gathered near the tent that serves as headquarters of the East Pasadena Community Defense Center. Another dozen or so would be arriving over the next half hour, some carrying signs. "Silence is Violence" "Migrants Don't Party With Epstein" Cynthia Lunine, 70, carried a large sign that read "Break His Dark Spell" and included a sinister image of President Trump. She said she was new to political activism, but added: 'You can't not be an activist. If you're an American, it's the only option. The immigration issue is absolutely inhumane, it's un-Christian, and it's intolerable.' There are local supporters, for sure, of Trump's immigration crackdown. Activists told me there aren't many days in which they don't field shouted profanities or pro-Trump cheers from Home Depot shoppers. But the administration's blather about a focus on violent offenders led to huge demonstrations in greater Los Angeles beginning in June, and the cause continues to draw people into the streets. Dayena Campbell, 35, is a volunteer at Community Defense Corner operations in other parts of Pasadena, a movement that followed high-profile raids and was covered in the Colorado Boulevard newspaper and, later, in the New York Times. A fulltime student who works in sales, Campbell was also cruising the parking lot at the Home Depot on the east side of Pasadena in search of federal agents. Read more: My bathroom scale is rigged, and so are my book sales. Lawsuits and pink slips to follow She thought this Home Depot needed its own Community Defense Corner, so she started one about a month ago. She and her cohort have more than once spotted agents in the area and alerted day laborers. About half have scattered, she said, and half have held firm despite the risk. When I asked what motivated Campbell, she said: 'Inhumane, illegal kidnappings. Lack of due process. Actions taken without anyone being held accountable. Seeing people's lives ripped apart. Seeing families being destroyed in the blink of an eye.' Anywhere from a handful to a dozen volunteers show up daily to to hand out literature, patrol the parking lot and check in on day laborers, sometimes bringing them food. Once a week, Nicholls helps organize a rally that includes a march through the parking lot and into the store, where the protesters present a letter asking Home Depot management to 'say no to ICE in their parking lot and in their store.' Nicholls is an LAUSD teacher-librarian, and when she asks for support each week, working and retired teachers answer the call. 'I'm yelling my lungs out,' said retired teacher Mary Rose O'Leary, who joined in the chants of 'ICE out of Home Depot' and 'No hate, no fear, immigrants are welcome here.' 'Immigrants are what make this city what it is … and the path to legal immigration is closed to everybody who doesn't have what, $5 million or something?' O'Leary said, adding that she was motivated by 'the Christian ideal of welcoming the stranger.' Retired teacher Dan Murphy speaks Spanish and regularly checks in with day laborers. 'One guy said to me, 'We're just here to work.' Some of the guys were like, 'We're not criminals … we're just here … to make money and get by,'' Murphy said. He called the raids a flexing of 'the violent arm of what autocracy can bring,' and he resents Trump's focus on Southern California. 'I take it personally. I'm white, but these are my people. California is my people. And it bothers me what might happen in this country if people don't stand firm … I just said, 'I gotta do something.' I'm doing this now so I don't hate myself later.' Read more: Trump's order on homelessness gets it all wrong, and here's why Nicholls told me she was an activist many years ago, and then turned her focus to work and raising a family. But the combination of wildfires, the cleanup and rebuilding, and the raids, brought her out of activism retirement. 'The first people to come out after the firefighters—the second-responders—were day laborers cleaning the streets," Nicholls said. "You'd see them in orange shirts all over the city, cleaning up.' The East Pasadena Home Depot is 'an important store,' because it's a supply center for the rebuilding of Altadena, 'and we're going out there to show our love and solidarity for our neighbors,' Nicholls said. To strike the fear of deportation in the hearts of workers, she said, is 'inhumane, and to me, it's morally wrong.' Nicholls had a quick response when I asked what she thinks of those who say illegal is illegal, so what's left to discuss? 'That blocks the complexity of the conversation,' she said, and doesn't take into account the hunger and violence that drive migration. Her husband, she said, left El Salvador 35 years ago during a war funded in part by the U.S. They have family members with legal status and some who are undocumented and afraid to leave their homes, Nicholls said. I mentioned that I had written about Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo, who was undocumented as a child, and has kept his passport handy since the raids began. In that column, I quoted Gordo's friend, immigrant-rights leader Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "Full disclosure," Nicholls said, "[Alvarado] is my husband." It was news to me. When the raids began, Nicholls said, she told her husband, "I have the summer off, sweetie, but I want to help, and I'm going to call my friends." On Wednesday, after Nicholls welcomed demonstrators, Alvarado showed up for a pep talk. 'I have lived in this country since 1990 ... and I love it as much as I love the small village where I came from in El Salvador,' Alvarado said. 'Some people may say that we are going into fascism, into authoritarianism, and I would say that we are already there.' He offered details of a raid that morning at a Home Depot in Westlake and said the question is not whether the Pasadena store will be raided, but when. This country readily accepts the labor of immigrants but it does not respect their humanity, Alvarado said. 'When humble people are attacked,' he said, 'we are here to bear witness.' Nicholls led demonstrators through the parking lot and into the store, where she read aloud the letter asking Home Depot to take a stand against raids. Outside, where it was hot and steamy by mid-morning, several sun-blasted day laborers said they appreciated the support. But they were still fearful, and desperate for work. Jorge, just shy of 70, practically begged me to take his phone number. Whatever work I might have, he said, please call.
