And I’m not referring to TEH ILLEGALZ!!! (boldface mine):

A construction worker who was arrested Wednesday by federal agents in Lynn, Massachusetts, was released a day later, and he alleges he was assaulted when he was taken into custody.

Alejandro Reyes said he was taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement despite telling them on several occasions that he’s a legal resident.

Reyes told Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra the agents took him to Pine Grove Cemetery — not a detention center — and beat him several times in a dark area. He showed wounds all over his body that he said he suffered in the ordeal.

“They took me from there, they loaded me up, and they took me to the cemetery that is all the way up Boylston Street,” Reyes said in Spanish.

There, he said he was attacked by officers who shouted obscenities at him.

“When we got to the top of the cemetery, we stopped there and they took off their vests because that’s where they have the camera,” he said. “Then they pulled me out of the car and kicked me.”

Reyes says that after repeatedly asking them to check his wallet, one of the officers finally did so. They realized he did, in fact, have his green card, but questioned whether it was real.

“‘I don’t know, maybe it’s fake’ … The other guy says, ‘No, it’s real’ … That’s when they finally stopped,” he said. “They were planning to keep hitting me because they didn’t have good intentions. They took me to a cemetery.”

Even so, the threats continued.

“Do you think you’re a big shot just because you have a green card? I’ll make sure they revoke that green card of yours,” Reyes said, recalling what agents told him. “‘I’m going to do everything I can to get this paper revoked,’ an immigration officer told me.”

The only way the brutality stops is when these men are arrested–and don’t think for a moment this was the first time. You don’t take someone to an out of the way place if you haven’t thought this through.

If they’re at all like Gestapo Barbie (aka ‘DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’), they’re too arrogant or stupid to not bring their cell phones with them, so it’s possible it might be really easy to track and find these guys. Regardless, Massachusetts needs to investigate and find these guys.
