On Monday, federal agents smashed the window of a car in Massachusetts and arrested Juan Francisco Méndez, a Guatemalan immigrant with no criminal record.
On Monday, federal agents smashed the window of a car in Massachusetts and arrested Juan Francisco Méndez, a Guatemalan immigrant with no criminal record.
He and his wife were waiting for their lawyer when it happened. Méndez, who is undocumented but working to adjust his status, was taken to an undisclosed location. His wife, Marilú—an asylum recipient—had petitioned for him. They have one child.
According to Marilú, they had just left home when unfamiliar cars appeared. Moments later, three vehicles boxed them in. Armed men in green vests ordered them out. No names. No badges.
This is what they saw. What would you do in this situation?

I would use lethal force to protect myself from kidnapping.
You do know what happens when someone with too much melanin pulls a gun on law enforcement, right? They ask questions later, you know what they do first.
Although if the alternative is to be shipped to CECOT, I wouldn't blame someone who wanted to force the issue sooner rather than later.
CECOT is a death camp that has no exit. I would rather take down a few before dying. This is just a trial run before they come after anyone who chooses to speak up. We are only in month 4 and have a very long way to go.
I’m quietly wondering when, if ever, white people will start defending their neighbors.
They'd have to start caring about someone other than themselves to do that. Most have been programmed to avoid people and isolate to be safe.
I would die in glorious battle to protect any of my neighbors from the fate the gov has planned. I wouldn't think twice about it. If they roll up on me or someone near me, it will be the last day of multiple people's lives, mine mostly likely.
Well, I'm not a primary target, but if I see someone rolling up on my street trying to force people into a vehicle against their will, I'm definitely grabbing my rifle and preventing a kidnapping.
They may not be coming for me yet, but I sure as fuck am not waiting until they do.
Honestly I think they're just waiting for people to fight back so they can justify lethal force from then on, "as a precaution"
Then let's start this hot war. Waiting for the other side to shoot first rarely is the best option and waiting for them to dig in their heels more, seems like a bad idea.
See how much of a dangerous criminal this guy was? Time to ramp it up and get these dangerous criminals off the street!
I'm not even psychic either.
It would be harder to find people willing to kidnap people off the streets if it becomes common to just shoot them on sight.
Right.
I'm not psychic either but know that shit is going to be getting bad for all of us.
I predict that when Powell is replaced it will mark a point of no return.
