Marilu Mendez said when ICE vehicles began following her and her husband Monday and then surrounded their car on Tallman Street in New Bedford, she took out her cell phone and started recording.
Her video shows a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforement agent using a large hammer to break the back passenger window of their car.
Marilu said the agents were focused on her husband, Juan, but kept calling him “Antonio”, the name of another man who lives in their building.
Juan Mendez is now being held in a detention facility in Dover, New Hampshire, with a hearing scheduled for May 7.
Hmm, good point. Before, it was probably in your best interest to cooperate since rule of law meant there was at least a chance you’d get your day in court. At this point, people have nothing to lose when ICE approaches them. Might as well go all out and take as many as possible with you.
