    I was refering more to the part where federal agents breached his miami home, with him being about 6 years old, and having an assault riffle pointed at him as agents screamed orders and made his crying face one of the top news stories of the year.

    That’s the part I was referring to. Not a legal court battle.

      They weren’t surrendering the kid, what exactly did you expect?

      There were people screaming that they wouldn’t give him back and would fight anyone who came to take him.

      It’s the south Florida Cuban community, surprised you have this position.

        Show me another case of federal agents breaching the door, a team of agents with assault rifles, using helicopters with spotlights, all in the dead of night.

        This wasn’t a case of CPS shows up at 2pm with a cop as backup. This was more like a swat team terrorist hideout raid.

        This wasn’t about taking a kid back and bring them to their new legal guardian. This was about sending a message to EVERYONE that illegals aren’t welcome here.

          This wasn’t a state/local issue, and IIRC the state said they wouldn’t help hand the kid back.

          This was a case where the federal government was enforcing federal law, and the state stepped aside, who do you think the feds send when they have to enforce federal law, andy griffith?
