The reason I went to law school and became an attorney was because one evening I was with my friend, who is Greek.

We were pulled over, violently pulled from the car (including my girlfriend), we were thrown up against the car and wall, intrusively searched (including my girlfriend's purse and the car trunk).

The only reason that the cops gave was that my friend "looked Mexican".

ICE is the American Stasi, the American Gestapo. Any officer who participates is not an American, he should be ashamed.

@karlauerbach ah, this is horrible. You have my sympathies for you and your friend.

On another note, I always wondered how I would be treated in the US since I consider myself white. Well, I'm Mediterranean and look like many Greeks and Egyptians and Italians. I have also been told I look Mexican and Colombian by Mexicans and Colombians. Hearing this story, I now know that if I ever had to go to the US, I need to be EXTREMELY careful of the cops

@engravecavedave In the 1960's film "Zorba the Greek", the lead role was played by a man from Mexico.
