Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to once again stress the need for immigration reform in this country.

Just last week, back home, one of my taxpaying constituents, Narciso Barranco, was picked up by who I believe were ICE agents--they were masked--and is now sitting in an ICE holding facility in Los Angeles. Videos show him being punched by masked Federal agents, unprovoked.

Narciso Barranco has lived in my district for 25 years or more and doesn't have a traffic ticket to his name. More importantly, he has three sons--three sons--all serving in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Mr. Speaker, we make movies about families like this. He has three sons who are ready to make the ultimate sacrifice for this great Nation, and, instead, he is being held in custody in an ICE facility in Los Angeles.

Our Federal agents should be taking criminals off of our streets, not gentlemen like this.

I pray that Mr. Barranco's case is a wake-up call for all of us for immigration reform.
