Absolutely disgraceful behaviour
A father & Physician was in his car with his baby in front of her preschool when ICE showed up & asked him for his ID which he provided them & then as he’s comforting his baby they break out his window for no reason at all & drags him out.He is a U.S citizen,but they didn’t care!
