The video shows that the man pulled out of his car and is detained in ice, THP operations

Nashville, Tenn. (WSMV)-a 55-year-old man was pulled out of his car and arrested in the early Saturday morning on his birthday as part of a continuing enforcement effort of immigration in South Nashville.

Edgardo David Campos is now in the Putnam County prison in custody and no charges were submitted from Saturday evening.

Bystander Dinora Romero arrested his arrest on the video in the parking lot of a petrol station near Harding Place and Antiochech Pike.

“You see that the other people ask the soldiers like:” How are your names? What do you do? What was the reason to cover him? “, Said Romero to WSMV.” And then they were exactly the same out of nowhere, we had to do something and they start taking the man out of the car. We start screaming him like 'you have rights. Don't go out of the car. '”

The video shows how it is apparently ice agents who take Romero away in a car that is not marked. Romero says she posted the video on social media to try to find his family.

“If my parent or uncle, my cousin, would happen to someone, I would want to know,” she said. “You take her and don't let a family member know where to go.”

She says she was able to get in touch with his family and tell them where he was brought. Then she returned his now abandoned car to his house.

“I never met this man in my life. Never. Even his wife,” said Romero. “But I think of my family. And everyone should think so, especially the Hispanic community. This could be your brother. This could be your father. This could be your grandfather, your uncle. We have to have heart.”

Romero first learned about ICE Operations in her community for the first time in her community in her community.

“Only random Hispanics, everyone who looked brown or what I looked like, they would literally put them on just to see,” she said. “And you would ask you, speak English? How long have you been here?”

She doesn't say long afterwards, she experienced the first -hand ice operations. When she was stopped for the first time, she said that the soldier had told her that her headlight was over and only let her go with a traffic warning. But later a week she says she was stopped again.

“I drove along the Murfreesboro Road to go to Briley,” she said. “I saw how state troops pull someone over. So I turn around and tell the Hispanic man because he is already detained, handcuffs and everything as if he is already talking to them. So I tell him: 'Say nothing. Nothing.

She says that after a few other similar interactions this night, a state troops have covered her.

“These are rights that Hispanic immigrants do not know,” said Romero. “It is as if you don't want you to know. I have the feeling that as a US citizen who comes from parents with a migration background, I have to help them because they have rights. They are unsuspecting. They are afraid. It's cruel. If I say the second man on Nolensville, say nothing, they follow me right away.”

The second time she said she received a quote, but that did not prevent her from commenting when she saw that Campos was captured early Saturday morning.

“My mother always taught me when I grew up when you see something wrong, you can speak, speak, speak and defend these people.”
