It took one text message to turn Maria Murillo’s world upside down.
It was from her husband, a gardener on a landscaping job on a balmy weekday morning in La Mirada, she said.
“I’m (expletive)ed…,” it read, but in Spanish.
A video from the scene that June 18 morning showed why, according to the family.
It appears to show federal agents parked curbside in a blue SUV, alongside a La Mirada sidewalk.
Moments later, the video showed what appears to be two agents escorting a man to a vehicle.
“Excuse me, but what’s your name, so your family can know,” someone, a civilian, asked the detained man.
“Jose Luis Zavala,” he said, before being placed inside the SUV and taken away.
It was a scene not unlike many unfolding in the hundreds of federal immigration sweeps across L.A. County in recent weeks as part of the the Trump administration’s massive immigration crackdown.
...
Murillo acknowledged that back in the early 2000s, her husband initially crossed illegally. She also acknowledged he once had a DUI on his record, back in 2005. But even with “some” traffic infractions and the DUI, her husband was not the “worst of the worst” that the Trump administration has pledged to deport, Murillo said.
She and Gordo added that he was in the process of getting his green card — a process that required a fingerprinting process that he was going through.
“We had started the process, because we wanted to do the things right.”

THEY STARTED THE PROCESS: ABOUT 25 years too late.
CRY ME A RIVER.
HIS DRIVING RECORD EXPLAINS WHY OUR UNINSURED MOTORIST COVERAGE IS SO SKY HIGH, ALSO.
DUI-—DUI-—DUI
Yes! Just imagine how this kind of action can build up the self-deportation numbers as a side effect.
Why no profiling of the nightmares of the families of murder victims of the illegals???
“we wanted to do the things right.”
SUUUURE ya did.
They seem like such a nice couple if only they had stayed where they came from they would be trouble Free.
“’I’m (expletive)ed…,’ it read, but in Spanish.”
If you don’t have the courtesy to curse in English, we don’t want you here.
Why are we allowing illegals go through the process to get a green card? That is pure amnesty.
News:
Man’s day interrupted as he’s arrested for doing illegal things - OMG!
Finger prints take a one time visit of 30 minutes.
Then he had 20 years to get himself legal. If he would have tried to get his green card under Bush, Obama or Biden, he would have gotten it even though he crossed illegally. But he was happy to do nothing until the heat was on with Trump.
Allow me: “Yo soy escrewdo.” (I should work for the U.N. ... at least until that whole lot are deported.)
I don’t know for sure but my guess is that if a non citizen gets a DUI in
Mexico - there would be hell to pay.
Honestly, Maria. You’re probably better off going back to Mexico with your deported husband than living under the insanely liberal policies in California.
A woman going to work on a motorbike was recently killed near men. An illegal in a work van ran a red-light and slammed into her. I passed by when they were cleaning up the wreckage.
They don’t know our laws, don’t care to, can’t read the traffic signs and hate us. We are only here to steal from.
talk about lopsided writing. He was a shining family man, locked behind a heavy door, with federal guards ( what? Seal team 6 wasnt avaliable? Sheese
he also admitted a dui and a " few " traffic violations.
No mention of why he was let go from his forklift job. The owner didn't want uninsurable illegals working for him??
go write a horror story. Or stick to the facts without all the unnecessary negative adjectives and hyperbole.
New day, new sob story. Did I get In before the creepers who believe laws should only apply to those without an extenuating circumstance?
Zero f***s given, they all gotta go
I wonder how many kids they had that the taxpayers had to cover the expenses incurred?
