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.

    I read somewhere Donald is trying to make it illegal to protest. Sooner or later he’s just going to rip that Constitution up and he’ll be like, “now Dems… you’re in a Constitutional crisis.”

      I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it came out that he has special toilet paper printed with the Constitution’s text so he can literally wipe his ass with it
