Next up: sue this administration!

This disabled vet says he was wrongfully detained during last week’s immigration raid in Camarillo, despite being a U.S. citizen.

He was reporting for his security job when they grabbed him:

• Held for three days. No charges. No phone call. No lawyer.
• No medical care for exposure to chemical agents.
