On Thursday morning, Christopher Ames said his gardeners were mowing the lawn outside his house on Fifth Street and Boulder Avenue in Ontario.

His neighbors, who had witnessed the men being taken into custody, quickly alerted him to the incident.

“They left the lawnmower running right here on the front lawn,” Ames said. “They threw my gardeners’ phones in their [work truck], along with the car keys, left everything open and just took off.”

The YouTube comments associated with the story video are overwhelmingly happy to see the immigration laws being aggressively enforced.

Anyone operating a leaf blower should be shot on sight.

I doubt it was merely gardeners. Probably had a criminal record.

IF the homeowner hire them with knowledge then said homeowner should foot the bill for “removal services”. It’s only fair.

They were "raptured" by Tom Homan.

Would the Left be howling if the headline were “Bank Robbers Caught at Family Picknic.” Same difference; grifting illegals stealing jobs, tax revenue and services from Americans. Round ‘em up and head ‘em out.

Fabulous! This is the kind of abduction of illegals that gets around, one can only hope that others saw this and will increase self-deportation. A couple of trespassers down and 10 million more to go...

That’s how it works. Shoulda taken the self-deport route.

Another thing that might cause illegals to leave our country is to advertise → “FREE BURIAL FUNDS” on billboards and busses. Especially the revamped CBP app, this will drive the libtards nuts.

Homeowners will start thinking twice about who they hire. I had a maid service that operated without a business license and I never checked to see if they carried liability insurance. It irked me so that I was supporting invaders who were operating on a shoe string while denying fellow Americans their economic rights to pursue a living by having to compete with criminals.
