"summary",
"The arrest of Juan Francisco Mendez, a seafood worker in Massachusetts, is the latest in a series of brazen actions by ICE agents targeting immigrant workers who have been organizing for better working conditions and rights. The workers, who are mostly from Guatemala, have been demanding better wages, safer working conditions, and an end to workplace abuses. Despite having no criminal record and being in the process of applying for asylum, Mendez was arrested and detained by ICE agents who broke his car window and ignored his wife's pleas for a lawyer. The arrest is part of a larger pattern of ICE targeting immigrant workers who have been exercising their legal right to organize and advocate for their rights."
