New Bedford Mayor Reacts To ICE Incident

New Bedford Mayor John Mitchell is reacting to ICE agents breaking a car window Monday and pulling out a Guatemalan man.  Juan Mendez is reportedly in the U.S. with asylum status. 

 

Mitchell said ICE appears to have broken from its long-standing practice of alerting the police department ahead of planned operations.  In a statement, the mayor said the incident raises questions that require clearer answers.
