Montoya Valdez’s identity was confirmed by the Guatemalan consulate, said Pablo Alvarado, director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network, who was at the Home Depot parking lot in Monrovia on Friday. Montoya Valdez is from Jutiapa, Guatemala, he said.

The raid was at a Home Depot store on Mountain Avenue. The man ran onto the freeway to get away from the ICE action, authorities said.
