The family of Narciso Barranco was reunited with the 48-year-old landscaper on Tuesday, July 15, after bureaucratic delays postponed his bond release from the Adelanto U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement processing center.

Barranco, of Tustin, who’s detainment by ICE agents late last month in front of a Santa Ana business garnered national attention because of a video showing him being hit multiple times in the head, was originally scheduled to be released on Friday, July 11.

The official release time remained up in the air for several days, leaving the Barranco family “understandably frustrated,” said Orange Councilmember Arianna Barrios, who attended his bond hearing at the Adelanto Detention Facility last week in support of his release.

“Narciso is very happy to be reunited with his family,” said Barranco’s immigration attorney Lisa Ramirez. “He clearly will need time to decompress and get reacclimated. He is, with good reason, traumatized by this whole experience and will need time to heal both physically and emotionally.”

It was unclear exactly what led to the holdup in his release, only that there were significant system delays in processing and updating his case, Barrios said. According to Ramirez, it took approximately 24 hours and six phone calls to the court for the judge’s order to be uploaded on the administrative website.

“What folks don’t really understand is the government is at capacity, and its workforce is diminishing,” Ramirez added. “The increase of people who need to be processed has increased by (roughly) 800%.”

Barranco was released to his family around 2 p.m. and was taken to the hospital for a physical check-up, Barrios said. His son, Marine veteran Alejandro Barranco, told NBC on Tuesday that his father “looked bad” when he stepped out of the detention facility and was wearing the same clothes. Details on his condition were not immediately available.

In the video posted on social media, Barranco is seen being pinned to the ground and repeatedly punched and pepper sprayed by at least one agent. He had been working a landscaping job at an IHOP in Santa Ana when he was approached by masked, armed federal agents.

U.S. Border Patrol officials accused Barranco, in a message posted on X, of wielding a weed whacker at agents and refusing to comply with authorities. An included 11-second, slowed-down video shows Barranco appearing to swing the weed whacker in the direction of approaching agents. No agent is hit.

Alejandro Barranco previously said his father was in the process of applying for parole-in-place, which is granted to undocumented family members of active-duty military members, giving them permission to stay in the U.S. for at least a year. Three of Barranco’s sons are Marines, two on active duty.
