San Bernardino, August 21 (RHC)-- In San Bernardino, California, Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested a man driving his pregnant wife to the hospital to give birth, sparking widespread outrage. 

The ICE agents detained Joel Arrona-Lara when he stopped at a gas station, forcing his wife, Maria del Carmen Venegas, to drive herself to the hospital for her scheduled C-section.  The couple has lived in the United States for more than 10 years and has five children, including their newborn baby. 

In more immigration news, in Texas, armed guards forcibly removed 16 fathers from the Karnes County detention center, where they were being held with their sons after the families were separated at the border and then reunited. 

Authorities appear to have reseparated the parents and sons as retaliation for their plans to organize a nonviolent protest.  Many of the imprisoned fathers said they had been tricked into signing deportation agreements in English that ICE told them were reunification papers.  The families have now been reunited, and some have been released.
