ICE agents smashed a car window with a hammer earlier this week (April 14) and detained a man whose family is alleging is an asylum seeker after initially saying they were looking for a different person.
Juan Francisco Mendez' family claim he was on his way to a dental appointment when he and his wife Marilu Domingo Ortiz were pulled over by ICE agents.
As CBS reports, his attorney said he is not the man the agents were looking for. "They said they were looking for a certain individual, by a different name," said immigration attorney Ondine Galvez Sniffin. "I said that's not my client... I know my client's history, that is not him."
