Federal immigration agents pulled over a Hispanic high school football coach driving his players to a game and pointed a pistol at his head.
They swarmed a high school parking lot to question Hispanic students about their citizenship. When the teens explained they were U.S. citizens, agents loaded them into a Border Patrol vehicle anyway.
Agents plowed their vehicles through the high school's baseball diamond and football fields. And they questioned the school secretary's citizenship on her way home from work.
This wasn't Minneapolis, Los Angeles or Chicago in recent months. It was El Paso, Texas – back in 1992.
The U.S. Border Patrol at the time was operating with impunity, aggressively going after anyone who looked Hispanic and lived in a neighborhood near the U.S.-Mexico border.
