Early Wednesday morning, Erik Zepeda was walking to a class at Santa Maria High School when he was detained and injured before being released over a mile from campus by what appeared to him to be Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.

An anonymous spokesperson for ICE sent in a statement stating that the incident was a case of mistaken identity.

Zepeda says they handcuffed him and put him in the back of their vehicle to drive around a few city blocks before dropping him off near the place they picked him up.

He says they never asked to see his identification, which he had in his wallet through the whole encounter.
