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.
