The situation escalated when Vargas broke free and ran into Del Mar Park, an assisted living facility at 990 East Del Mar Boulevard, according to witnesses.

Her children formed what Reed described to KTLA as “a human wall” to protect their mother.

Facility staff reportedly told the agents they were on private property and needed to leave without a warrant, according to witnesses. The agents complied, photographed witnesses, and departed in two separate vehicles before returning later and detaining Vargas.


...Apart from that whole "photographed witnesses" bit. And returning later to finish the crime.

What I DON'T see in articles is Vargas' current status. Was she released? Or disappeared?

Miller's Gestapo only cares about meeting quotas. Don't expect humanity from Nazis.
