ICE says immigrant nabbed in San Francisco has violent record

SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — The day after witnesses recorded cellphone videos of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents surrounding a man wearing a suit and tie in San Francisco, ICE officials explained why their agents arrested the man. The videos, which sparked an anti-ICE rally at City Hall Tuesday morning, show agents wearing face coverings as they question and detain the man in the South of Market neighborhood Monday. ICE officials identified the arrested immigrant as Milton Ramos-Rodriguez, 51, of El Salvador. Ramos-Rodriguez had been previously deported from the U.S., he was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in California, and allegedly had affiliations with a Sureño gang, according to ICE. One witness who watched the SoMa incident from his apartment window said he saw plainclothes agents with their guns drawn, and heard the man repeatedly ask, “Who are you?” The man claimed he was a U.S. citizen.
