A Jail Release That Turned Into a Beating, His Mother Says
Alba Beltrán was sitting in her car outside the county jail in Santa Maria on July 24, waiting to bring her son home, when she says four vehicles pulled into the lot and agents with their faces covered stepped out. Her son, Jefersson Bladimir Alemán Beltrán, didn't fight them, she says — he was loaded into one of the vehicles, and that's when, according to her account relayed to reporter Araceli Martinez, an agent began hitting him.
