Federal immigration agents in Portland detained a 7-year-old girl and her parents last week on their way to the hospital, according to a GoFundMe page in Spanish created by family relatives.
Yohendry de Jesús Crespo Álvarez, 40, and his wife Darianny Liseth González de Crespo, 34, had just parked at Adventist Health Center on the morning of Jan. 16 when three trucks surrounded their vehicle. Federal immigration agents from the trucks forced the couple to exit the vehicle and handcuffed them despite their pleas to see a doctor for their daughter who had a bloody nose since the previous night, according to family friend Ana Mendoza, who told the Capital Chronicle she is speaking on behalf of the family…
“They had no criminal record, no infractions, they just got to Portland,” Mendoza said. “They are educated people and they are honest.”

The family was here seeking asylum. A DHS spokesperson said “Any application for asylum does not preclude immigration enforcement… You can look it up in the statute.” Cruelty is the point.
Adventist Health Center is in SE Portland at 10123 SE Market St, Portland, OR 97216. Two Venezuelans were shot in their car near this location on January 8. See the link for the politicized DHS statement that accuses them of being “Tren de Aragua gang associates—let loose on American streets by Joe Biden.” The so-called Tren de Aragua gang is used as a bogeyman for spectacular raids, claims of an urban gang takeover in Aurora, Colorado and now shootings at gas stations in Portland Oregon.
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman and Councilwoman Dannielle Jurinsky repeated CBZ’s unverified claim in media interviews. "We have areas in our city that, unfortunately, have been taken, and we have to get them back," Coffman told a radio host.
Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman [formerly US Congressman] and Councilwoman Dannielle Jurinsky repeated CBZ’s unverified claim in media interviews. "We have areas in our city that, unfortunately, have been taken, and we have to get them back," Coffman told a radio host.
Although they later tried to tone down with a joint statement — “exaggerated claims fueled by social media and certain media are simply not true,” the damage was already done.

The page is in Spanish, but my browser includes a translation tool. Aurora is not a pequeña ciudad, but the third largest city in Colorado.
Once again, cruelty is the point, because it certainly is not law enforcement. Democrats must be returned to power and they must exercise it with vigor and force. The American DOJ is loathe to prosecute political crimes, especially for a liberal administration. Putting a stop to this threat and meting out justice will be difficult and messy, but this is no distraction. It’s far more important than a budget resolution.
