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.
The billionaire class has made it so that you can’t be an activist and live a normal life. If you’re struggling to feed yourself and your kids working two full time jobs, when are you going to find time to protest? And are you willing to do so at the expense of your kids going hungry? Most people are not, I think.
Nobody is going to live a normal life anymore if things continue.
