'I'm not blind': Military vet trashes Trump admin after immigration arrest

A military veteran who was recently arrested by President Donald Trump's immigration agents trashed the administration on Tuesday during an interview on CNN.

George Retes, a 25-year-old military veteran, was arrested by immigration officials in July during a raid on a marijuana farm where Retes worked as a contract security guard. He was detained for three days, where he was reportedly placed on suicide watch.

The Department of Homeland Security has previously pushed back on Retes' claims. In October, DHS claimed that Retes "became violent" with immigration officers, thereby warranting his arrest.

DHS officials have said attorneys in the Department of Justice are reviewing his case to determine if federal charges are warranted. Retes discussed his case and Trump's immigration actions on "The Lead with Jake Tapper."

"I'm not blind to see what's happening out there in the world," Retes said. "I'm not stuck in a bubble. It happens. I mean, it happened to me. It is happening to other people. And so it could really happen to anyone."

Retes also said that he is "not concerned" about his upcoming federal case.

"I'm not concerned in the slightest," Retes said. "I'm just ready to start this whole process and get over this six-month waiting period. I have these claims and am ready to get justice and find out the truth, and get the truth for everyone, honestly."
