Border Patrol raids Home Depot parking lot in Sacramento; multiple people arrested

Masked Border Patrol agents on Thursday raided a Home Depot parking lot in the south Sacramento area, resulting in multiple arrests.
Gregory Bovino, the U.S. Border Patrol sector chief, shared a video on Instagram, saying the operation led to the arrests of eight people for being in the country illegally. One of those arrested is an aggravated felon for charges related to fentanyl trafficking, he said.
The Department of Homeland Security later said “at least 11” people were arrested in the Sacramento operation.
The video also included blurred video of a man who Bovino said was arrested for allegedly impeding or assaulting a U.S. federal officer.
The man’s wife, Andrea Castillo, identified him as Jose Castillo and said he was a U.S. citizen. A video she shared with KCRA 3 showed an agent accusing Jose Castillo of flattening a federal agent’s tire.
KCRA 3 later obtained photos from a witness that showed the tire that had been slashed.
The immigrant advocacy group NorCal Resist said Castillo has since been released.
The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said it originally got an incomplete call at 7:47 a.m. about armed, masked men in the Home Depot parking lot at 4641 Florin Road. Deputies who responded were waved down by a woman who said her husband had been taken.
Customs and Border Patrol on Thursday evening said officers “arrested numerous illegal aliens, including a dangerous serial drug abuser and dealer with 67 charges” during the Sacramento operation.
CBP identified the man arrested with dozens of criminal charges as Javier Dimas-Alcantara.
Officials said Dimas-Alcantara’s crimes include multiple instances of transport and sale of a narcotic or controlled substance, felony burglary, illegal entry, carrying a loaded firearm in public, providing false identification to a law enforcement officer, felony possession of marijuana for sale, revocation of probation due to a re-offense of possession of marijuana for sale, being under the influence of a controlled substance, multiple instances of poessession of a narcotic or controlled substance, and possession of a controlled narcotic with intent to sell.
De La Cruz spoke with Andrea Castillo, who said it was her husband Jose’s phone location that was showing up at San Juan Avenue in Stockton, where an ICE field office is located. Andrea stated that her husband is a U.S. citizen with a REAL ID and that they’ve been together for 11 years.
Video shared by Andrea shows her yelling at masked officers who are chasing after a man. She can be heard saying repeatedly that he’s a U.S. citizen.
One officer held a can of mace to her face at one point in the video. That same officer can be heard again threatening to mace her.
“Move back, or you’ll be maced,” the officer said.
Another officer threatened to arrest her, claiming that she was impeding the operation.
Agents eventually caught up to Jose, pinning him to the ground.
Andrea asks why he is being detained, to which one officer said that Jose “flatted” one of their tires.
“You guys are all traitors!” Andrea yelled as the officers drove off.
NorCal Resist, an immigrant advocacy group, posted on social media stating that the raid happened at 7:50 a.m. and that one of its volunteers was arrested. The group later identified Jose as the volunteer, stating that he was documenting arrests.
