A family has been left in a state of shock after US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) moved their eighteen-year-old relative, Benjamin Guerrero Cruz, out of California without telling them. California congresswoman Luz Rivas, who has spoken with the family and looked at federal detention records, has pointed to this case as an example of a larger problem with the way ICE operates.
Benjamin Guerrero Cruz was first taken into custody in the Van Nuys area while he was walking his dog. After that, he was held at a facility in downtown Los Angeles for one week. During that time, a former teacher, Liz Becerra, visited him, and he told her he was surrounded by masked men who handed him over to federal agents.
