We’re from the government, and we’re here to help you. Yeah, right!

Yeah, of course we have police abuses and strong arming from time to time here in Mexico, but hey… Mexico doesn’t claim to be the land of the free and the home of the brave, either…

from VivarLatino:

ICE and the media can try and sell the story that the raid on the home of a 68 year old Latina woman was a mistake. Pero there are no mistakes in this age of war and terror. Perhaps its the cynic in me or the history I carry inside me that thinks this was more than a a mere clerical error.

Olga Savage said she went through a harrowing life-changing experience that might have been a total mistake. The 68-year-old woman told Action 4 News that she heard a knock at her door Tuesday morning. But before she had a chance to get up she said U.S. Immigration & Customers Enforcement (ICE) agents were inside her home. “They came in with guns, grenades and holding their pistols,” Savage recalled. When she asked them why they came into her home they allegedly responded, “Show us your papers.” Savage complied by showing them documentation proving that she’s been a United States citizen for 40 years. She said they were shocked to see the paperwork. “They looked confused and said, ‘They told us you didn’t have your papers’,” she recalled. After verifying her documentation, they made copies and left. Olga said they didn’t offer an apology or help.

They could have at least called an ambulance.  the poor woman very nearly had a stroke as a result of her blood pressure going through the roof.  And who were “they” that said Mrs. Savage “didn’t have papers?”
