Narciso Barranco’s case had been dismissed by a judge on Jan. 28.
Narciso Barranco reacts during a press conference in Santa Ana, CA on Friday, July 25, 2025 calling on authorities for “humane treatment of immigrants”. Barranco was detained last month by federal immigration agents, which a video that went viral showed him being hit in the head several times.
Barranco’s deportation case had been dismissed by a judge on Jan. 28. Soon after, DHS officials said they planned to appeal the decision, which they did, at the last moment possible, said Barranco’s attorney, Lisa Ramirez.The timeline of Barranco’s case is now unclear, with appeals lasting years in Ramirez’s experience. The Board of Immigration Appeals will review the appeal.by immigration officials in June 2025. He was detained by agents and was hit in the head several times, captured on video that was shared to social media. He was later accused of swinging his weed whacker at agents by officials, but no evidence of that has been provided.Mass deportations could jolt Bay Area economy and trigger job losses, report warnsAirport disruptions abound as senators chase deal to end Homeland Security budget standoff “The biggest challenge for everyone, including Mr. Barranco, invested in this case, is that we don’t know how long this is going to take,” she said. Legally, Barranco cannot be removed from the United States until there is a decision on the appeal. While the appeal is underway and his case remains in the court system, Barranco’s parole in place and family based petition for residency, methods to seek legal permanent residency, are in limbo. The government argued that Barranco should have applied for parole in place through ICE rather than United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, but there is no process in place to pursue parole in place through ICE, Ramirez said.When his petition for legal status through a family sponsor is approved through United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, a process Ramirez said is now taking on average nearly three years. The appeal process could last just as long, she said. “We will appeal this lawless ruling. This activist judge’s ruling does not change the facts that Narciso Barranco is an illegal alien,” a DHS spokesperson said. The department spokesperson reaffirmed allegations that Barranco swung a weed whacker at agents and resisted commands and handcuffs.Dear Abby: I spurned my dear friend because my insurance company told me to.
