Hello why weren't these criminals turned over to ICE - once arrested you could check their immigration status which would have shown "illegal" and then turn them over to ICE.

Also it's really stupid to refer to males pissing in the bushes as "Gentlemen". I hate to see that term misused as in "Gentlemen's Club" when referring to stip joints where males make fools of themselves and throw money at bimbos or when a thug comits a crime they too are sometimes described as "gentlemen"

Really? They are criminals because the piss in rash cans? Hmmm, when did they pass that law again?

Why are cops harassing this man who's crime is to want to work. Who don't whine to others or blame the government, because not all this men are illegal just because their Hispanic. And this men are gentleman because they work to support there families. Why don't cops go after the bums that do harass people for money that that loiter the freeways.

Hi all. I work one block away from that Home Depot and frequent those diners in the plaza and across the street from the plaza quite often during my lunch time. I don't think the men are commiting a crime because they want to work, but the cops are trying to monitor these men because they are loitering in the plaza during the day and harassing people who drives by or park at the lot. I can speak from experience because I've seen the men run up to ANY car (even mine) when pulling up to the parking lot asking for jobs. I've seen them spit and litter as well. The spot where they usually stand are littered with trash such as soda cans, water bottle, and left over fast food bags. When trying to get to Home Depot, I have to take the longer route to park just to avoid these people because they WILL run up to your car. It is also extremely uncomfortable to walk out of my car and have 20 pairs of eyes staring at me and whistling at me like I am a piece of meat. It is really bad. I am sure they are hard working men who are trying hard to make a living, but at the same time, it is affecting the business in the area.
