A Guatemalan family from Leominster, Massachusetts, says federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained their 5-year-old daughter outside their home to pressure her father to surrender.
In a recording obtained by Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra, the family's anguished screams can be heard as they try to recover the girl.
..............
"They took my daughter, she's 5 years old. She has autism spectrum," the woman says in the video. "Give me my daughter back."
...........................
The family said ICE agents challenged Edward Hip, a Guatemalan man who has lived in the United States for 22 years, to leave his home for his daughter..............................
Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.
However, two days later, on Hip's wife's birthday, federal agents returned to the house, pulled the man out of the car and arrested him........................................

(15,633 posts)and these ICE pricks are breaking the law daily. Use all the tools in the toolbox. The word of indictments of a few of these "officers" will spread like wildfire among the rest. We need action not speeches.

Our state government is working to protect our freedoms. Is it enough?
In my opinion, no government on Earth ever does enough to protect the liberties of its people, but Im an old lefty from far left field.

when Democrats are back in control. VERY SOON.

for numerous different crimes that Trump had their federal records expunged?
