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?
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.
