ICE Arrest of Undocumented Immigrant Sparks Outrage

In Pomona, California, a harrowing incident unfolded on April 22, 2025, when Martin Majin Leon, a 59-year-old Mexican barber, was arrested by ICE agents. The arrest, captured on video, shows agents pointing long guns at Leon as he arrived at his barbershop. "They didn't say a word," Leon recounted in an interview, "They didn't identify themselves as ICE or police. I feared for my life." Leon, who was previously deported in 2003, faces criminal charges for re-entering the country. Despite the severity of the charges, a federal judge in California released him on conditional release without bail. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 29th. The case highlights the ongoing debate surrounding immigration enforcement in the United States and the emotional toll it takes on individuals and families.
