A Guatemalan family from Leominster, Massachusetts, says federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained their 5-year-old daughter outside their home to pressure her father to surrender.

In a recording obtained by Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra, the family's anguished screams can be heard as they try to recover the girl.

..............



"They took my daughter, she's 5 years old. She has autism spectrum," the woman says in the video. "Give me my daughter back."

...........................

The family said ICE agents challenged Edward Hip, a Guatemalan man who has lived in the United States for 22 years, to leave his home for his daughter..............................

Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.

However, two days later, on Hip's wife's birthday, federal agents returned to the house, pulled the man out of the car and arrested him........................................

1. Those 6 RW asshole justices gave the ok........................

rule to ICE.

Any means necessary to obtain brown people for concentration camps and secret deportation to no name country.

Damn "due process".

3. Where ? It's not showing. nt

4. Charge them with kidnapping and child endangerment

When are blue states going to fight back?

[murielm99]

5. Blue states do fight back.

Have you noticed California? Illinois? Pay attention.

[CanonRay]

6. I'm paying attention

and these ICE pricks are breaking the law daily. Use all the tools in the toolbox. The word of indictments of a few of these "officers" will spread like wildfire among the rest. We need action not speeches.

17. Families, neighbors and friends are fighting back by the thousands here in California.

Videos of this fight are available by the hundreds across social media here if one cares to verify this statement.
Our state government is working to protect our freedoms. Is it enough?
In my opinion, no government on Earth ever does enough to protect the liberties of its people, but I’m an old lefty from far left field.

7. They need to have people pull off their masks on camera every time they pull this shit.

People should also say they WILL be held accountable for their criminal conduct as ICE agents
when Democrats are back in control. VERY SOON.

[Botany]

8. That was sick.

How many of these ice agents are J-6th shits or some of the 150,000 cops that had been fired
for numerous different crimes that Trump had their federal records expunged?

[Paladin]

9. So much for this regime's concern for autistic children. (nt)

[Joinfortmill]

10. That's a form of kidnapping, unlawful detainment. These creeps need to go to jail for a very long time.

The United States is still full of racists and fascists.

[CanonRay]

20. That is what I've been trying to say

Send a message to the other goons...if you break state law you will be prosecuted.

[Martin68]

11. Degenerate monsters.

[flashman13]

12. This is really Gestapo shit. The only thing missing are the swastikas.

Give small men a small amount of power and they become a very large danger to the rest of us.

[boonecreek]

13. Meanwhile, mob bosses are facepalming.

Really? A five year old kid?

[Clouds Passing]

14. These are the real monsters, sick men with depraved minds and hearts. The acronym ice fits them to a T

16. Where the hell is local law enforcement...or are they helping these lawless assholes.

[sakabatou]

18. Local LEOs should arrest those agents.

[IbogaProject]

19. Kidnapped not "detained"

That is a federal crime, they likely crossed state lines to kidnap a child. That isn't some slight procedure mishap.
