John Carter runs a security company that worked at the racetrack, and he's a Trump supporter himself. But what he saw that day shook him up. He watched agents point automatic rifles at people and set off flash-bang grenades while arresting Ivan Tellez, who allegedly operated the track.
It wasn't just Immigration and Customs Enforcement, either. Multiple agencies turned up—federal, state, local. The sheriff came through on horseback. A black military helicopter circled overhead. Adults, including parents holding toddlers, and plenty of teenagers got their hands zip-tied. Everyone at the track was rounded up and herded to one end.
Carter's own 14-year-old daughter was there. She got zip-tied, too. He saw officers pointing guns at teenagers. The whole thing felt less like a law enforcement operation and more like a military raid.
Well, sounds like they had the day they voted for.
