The United Farm Workers Union says 25-year-old George Retes, a U.S. citizen, was released Sunday night after spending more than three days in federal custody.
Disabled veteran who is a US citizen was taken during Camarillo immigration raid, family says
Retes works as a security guard at Glass House Farms in Camarillo, a cannabis farm where the raid took place Thursday.
His wife and sister told Eyewitness News they saw him in AIR7 footage trying to leave the scene in his white vehicle as tensions escalated between federal agents and protesters.
They say agents broke his car's window, pepper sprayed and detained him.
His family was unable to find him or get in touch with him for days.
