The family of a father of five who was kicked and detained by federal officers on Friday says an agent pointed a gun at him.<\/p>\n
Jose Campollo, 56, was traveling in his work truck on his way home to Wilmington when immigration agents pulled him over. Video taken from a nearby home showed an armed agent pointing a large firearm at Campollo and kicking him at least once on the sidewalk. Both the agent and Campollo can be seen speaking to one another in the video before he was ultimately detained.<\/p>\n
Another video recorded by Campollo\u2019s son, Jose Jr., shows an agent and the son speaking to each other while the father is being detained. In the video, Jose Jr. can be heard demanding a warrant from the agent while the agent appears to try to diffuse the encounter. A woman can also be heard yelling that he isn\u2019t a criminal and denouncing the agents\u2019 actions.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey kicked him, yeah,\u201d Jose Jr. said. \u201cI honestly didn\u2019t saw that until now when my little brother was showing the camera footage and it broke my heart just seeing my dad being kicked like that. I felt useless, like I couldn\u2019t do anything.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to the man\u2019s son, the armed agent also pointed his firearm at him and threatened to open fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn that moment, I didn\u2019t know what else to do except record everything that has happening,\u201d Jose Jr. told NBC4\u2019s sister station, Telemundo 52.<\/p>\n
Campollo\u2019s son said his father was arrested for an unspecified violation in 1994, but the victim in the case testified that Campollo wasn\u2019t the suspect, so he was released from any charges.<\/p>\n
As of Friday, Campollo was placed at the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles. His loved ones are seeking an attorney to fight his deportation.<\/p>\n
