In the middle of US President Donald Trump with agents of immigration, immigration and recovery of customs outputs (ICE), the Guatemalan national in New Bedford allegedly arrested on Monday, despite his claim that he had no criminal record. The newly released video, which recorded his wife and shared with the Newscenter 5 by his lawyer, captures the moment the agents broke the window of the car Juan Francisco Mendez to take him into custody.
His lawyer claims that Officals took the wrong person and caught his client for someone else. “They said they were looking for an individual, another name,” I said it wasn’t my client … I know my client’s history is not him, “CBS News quoted him.
Mendez has lived in the United States for two years and has a waiting for asylum that has not yet been approved. But his wife was already awarded asylum.
The couple sat in their car on Monday when the ice agents approached and took Mendez into custody. Mendez and his wife said Newscenter 5 that they were waiting for their lawyer to arrive when ice agents broke the car window.
Mendez is currently held on a device in New Hampshire.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia ‘Incorrect Deportation’
In a similar incident, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a 29 -year -old man from Salvador, who lived in the United States for 14 years, deported under Trump’s administration in what has now been described as a “administrative error”. Garcia entered the US illegally in 2011, worked in construction and built life with her wife and children.
In 2019, the immigration judge ruled that Garcia could not be returned to Salvador because of the credible threats of the local gang aimed at the business of his Pupus family. However, it could be deported to another country. Despite this decision, Garcia was arrested in March this year after the Trump officials defended him that he was a member of the MS-13 gang based on unnamed “reliable sources”.
He was deported to Salvador, where he was immediately placed in Cecot Mega. The Trump administration later acknowledged the deportation as an administrative mistake. Garcia and his family filed a lawsuit and US district judge Paul Xinis decided to deport illegal and ordered his return to 31 March.
However, President Salvador Salvador Nayib Bukele refused to send him back and said it would be a similar “smuggling terrorist” to the United States. Bukele claimed that he lacked the power to return Garcia and had him imprisoned between two governments who were not willing to take responsibility.
