Title: The War on Mexicans
Post by: patric on March 30, 2009, 11:55:06 AM
The war at the Mexican border took on a familiar, yet spooky tone when government agents bulldozed the home of a suspect during a $2.2 Million raid involving more than 700 police in Desert Hot Springs, California.

You only hear about stuff like that on the Gaza Strip.
Have we sunk to the depths of Israel's "security forces"?

First of all, it wasn't the home of a suspect, it was a home owned by the city that was being used as a hangout by one of the states most notorious gangs.

Durring the raid officials made more than 120 arrests; executed 38 arrest warrants, 48 search warrants, six Housing and Urban Development housing search warrants; as well as conducted 185 probation searches and 100 parole searches; and targeted more than 70 undocumented immigrants.

They recovered more than 50 firearms and confiscated 400 grams of methamphetamine, 3,000 grams of marijuana and 50 pot plants.
