Tim Chavez of www.politicalsalsa.com first posted the story of Mrs. Villegas. He has additional information on his website. The 287 deportation program in Tennessee needs to be repealed, most of the undocumented people picked up were stopped for traffic violations. As for Mrs. Villegas being shackled - she is not a dangerous criminal as described by the Davidson County Sheriff's Dept. - It again appears that DHS and ICE are not honoring the U.S. Constitution.
Maybe we need a Geneva Convention for immigrant detainees. As shown with the Mrs. Villegas and the Postville detainees, shackling has become popular again. If you recall, it was commonly used on slaves during in the 19th century.
