A taco shop in Tucson, a morning that begins inconspicuously, and a few minutes later a commotion that raises the question of how much consideration federal authorities still show toward their own population. What began as a search ended in pepper spray, injured officers, and a newly sworn-in member of Congress who coughs as she explains she was hit in the face. The Democratic congresswoman Adelita Grijalva, only weeks in office, describes that she and her team were harassed and sprayed by the officers while they tried to understand who was being taken into custody and where people were being brought. The scene looks like a snapshot of a level of force that has long become standard practice: masked agents who answer no questions and respond to any approach as though an attack were imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
