Citizens arrest 27 day laborers at Rowland Heights-area Home Depot

INDUSTRY - Officials from several area restaurants have made citizen's arrests on 27 day laborers at the Home Depot on Gale Avenue in Industry, authorities said Thursday.

Officials from businesses near the Home Depot at Gale and Fullerton Road near Rowland Heights recently complained that laborers were urinating in public and harassing customers in the parking lot.

On Tuesday, deputies warned the laborers to stay on public property. Then on Wednesday, citizens acted as witnesses and had 27 men arrested for trespassing by sheriff's deputies, said Lt. John McBride of the sheriff's Industry Station.

In the case of a misdemeanor, officers or deputies cannot make an arrest if the act is not done in his or her presence - with the exception of drunk driving.

During a citizen's arrest, a private person who witnessed the alleged crime fills out a form testifying to what he or she saw, and an officer or deputy detains the person on the witness' behalf.

Lt. Jim Wolak said deputies haven't had problems in the past. But issues have recently been cropping up.

"We may possibly follow the lead of some other cities and put in (an area) to have them stay in an organized fashion," said Wolak. "Of course, there are lots of politics involved in that."

Sheriff's officials wouldn't release the names of the those who made the citizen's arrests, saying the matter was still being investigated.

The General Manager of Frisco's Diner denied being one of the restaurants involved in the citizen's arrest, but he said people from his store have complained about day laborers.

"They are kind of an eyesore in front of our business," said General Manager Frank Millan. "I have customers that are sometimes afraid to go out to their cars because (laborers) are surrounding the area. It is bad for all businesses around here."

He wasn't surprised when many of the day laborers returned Thursday.

"Tough times right now," he said. "People need to work."

Marcos Estrada has been looking for work every day at a spot outside a Home Depot in Industry for seven years.

In that time, the 52-year-old La Puente resident only remembers one instance where police have come to the area - and that was an immigration raid.

"Yesterday, the sheriff's said no more people here, too many problems," said Estrada, who was not arrested.

Estrada was back Thursday, standing in the parking lot of a Del Taco across the street. Laborers are allowed to look for work as long as they stay behind a fence that marks private property. On Thursday, many failed to stay behind the fence.

Loyda Alvarado, an organizer with day labor advocacy group the National Day labor Organizing Network, said sheriff's officials were eager to work with them toward a solution.

"With what is happening in Industry, it is important and essential that we sit down with the different parts of the community so we can come up with a way to collaborate and coexist," Alvarado said.

It is called staying on your side of the border.

I admire the people of California for taking this on themselves! If the Gov't won't protect the American people, then the people have to enforce the laws themselves!

The sad thing is that no matter what we do the government will see to it those that want to support the lawlessness will get an unlimited supply of fiat money to counter our fight for self determination.

We saw it after we passed Proposition 187 and we have seen it happen over and over all around the nation. The world for that matter.

You wait and see how the sharks of the Globalist will be having a feeding frenzy with this.

No matter how much in real assets and real hard earned money, "We the People" put up on our own, the bought and paid for criminals in the Federal Government will see to it the money presses run nonstop, until we are defeated once again.





"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country.
A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit.
Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation,
therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men.
We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely
controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world.
No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by
conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by
the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

-Woodrow Wilson



"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them, will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
