"I truly believe I was targeted because of my race," Brian Gavidia of Montebello, California, told NBC 4 Los Angeles.

"While conducting a lawful immigration enforcement operation in Montebello, CA, Brian Gavidia was arrested for assaulting a law enforcement officer and interfering with agents during their duties," Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Newsweek.

That's the Dog Whistle part for Racist Republicans.
He's arrested for interfering, not because he's brown, get it racist Dems who bring race into everything?
But the follow up on this tells a different story:
When told by a reporter that Gavidia had not been arrested, McLaughlin clarified that Gavidia had been questioned by Border Patrol agents but there "is no arrest record."

So, the Feds lied, and quite possibly defamed this man by trumpeting his ARREST in ALL CAPS.
