The birth of a child is one of the most anticipated and desired moments of any father or mother. But in the case of Joel Arrona-Lara, the joy of seeing his son born was never given when he was arrested by the US authorities. He and his wife María del Carmen Venegas were preparing to go to the hospital where they had an appointment with the doctors to perform a cesarean section on the mother, who was expecting her fifth child.

But Joel was never able to get to the delivery room with his wife. The couple made a stop at a gas station where the police officers approached them. When asked for the documentation, Joel did not carry it with him. Shortly afterwards, the officers arrested him, leaving the woman alone at this important moment in their lives. With tears in her eyes, she got into the vehicle and drove to the hospital alone.

CBS News 2 in Spanish had the opportunity to speak to the mother, already with her son in her arms, who assured that she felt devastated by this sad and unexpected situation. In addition, she assured that her husband had never had a problem with the authority or even had traffic tickets.

However, the authorities assure the opposite. According to the chain, the man was in search and capture in Mexico for being suspected of an alleged murder. Emilio Amaya García, the lawyer assigned in San Bernardino, a town near Los Angeles, assures that he would also be under arrest for being illegal in this country, where he is undocumented.

A fact in which the Department of Immigration and Customs places special emphasis on the official document of his arrest that he has published and where he does not mention at any time the alleged murder of which he is also a suspect. The woman gave birth to her son and there is no further information on the case at the moment.
