ICE agents surround Alamosa resident Jose Aguilera, one drawing his weapon and the other shattering the car window, as they detain him on an immigration warrant on Sept. 25.

ALAMOSA — On Thursday at about 3:15 p.m., 33-year-old Jose Aguilera of Alamosa was driving down Sixth Street with Maya England and their one-month-old baby in the car when they noticed three SUVs behind them that seemed to be maneuvering traffic to stay on their tail.

“I noticed that the three of them came from different places [on Highway 285] by Family Dollar and started following us down the street,” England told the Valley Courier. “They looked like regular cars – they were different kinds and didn’t have any signs on the sides or lights on top. And they didn’t try to stop us or anything. They were just following us.”

As England describes it, at a specific moment, all three SUVs then turned on their sirens at the same time as one SUV swung around and cut off Aguilera’s car while the other two pulled up behind, trapping the vehicle on the street.

At this point, Aguilera takes out his phone to call his boss, and England starts recording the incident on her phone.

Within seconds, the ICE agent in the front SUV jumps out of his vehicle with his gun drawn, pointing it directly at Aguilera through the windshield as he walks rapidly toward the vehicle. Neither he nor the two agents with him identify themselves as being with ICE or Border Patrol or confirm that he was Jose Aguilera..........................

You can see the hatred and malice on those men's faces. I don't see why they have to approach every one of these stops like they're pulling out Bonnie and Clyde.

They could see that baby. No excuse for endangering it.

Trump wants that boot in your face.

May Epstein drag him and Putin to hell with him.

From now on? Will we see this happen and expect to go on like “normal” ? What *is* normal anymore?

what is the justification for having their guns drawn when approaching the vehicle? Answer: there is none whatsoever!

there is a 43% rise in threats against ICE and their families. I don't believe it for one moment.
