Not exactly Kristallnacht, but...

From Alt National Parks on Facebook:
This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared.
This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too. Fake ICE agents are now targeting immigrants, creating dangerous and chaotic situations. Americans have Second Amendment rights, and people won’t just stand by while masked men grab young women off college campuses. If you’re making an arrest, show a warrant and ID. Period.
Now, about the video: 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 not law enforcement. This is intimidation.
Comment: because the cruelty is the point.
