Jose Castro should have been at work on July 30th.

Instead, he and his family have spent every day since that Wednesday trapped in their home, following several full days of stalking and harassment from alleged Border Patrol agents, in what could be a violation of the temporary restraining order filed against the Department of Homeland Security.

Castro was on his way to work when several vehicles blocked his path on the road near his home. Another car struck his car from behind, and he found himself swarmed. He panicked, managed to make a U-turn despite being trapped, and sped back home as the vehicles chased him into the parking lot of his apartment complex. Video footage from security cameras outside his home shows him escaping into his house with barely a second to spare.
