Federal agents in Portland, Maine arrested an asylum seeker last week by smashing his car window while his 1-month-old baby was inside. Glass pieces fell on the infant’s car seat during the arrest. The incident happened as part of a federal operation called “Operation Catch of the Day.”
Hassane Barry, a 38-year-old man from Guinea, was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. He came to the U.S. in 2023 and asked for asylum right away. His lawyer says he has no criminal record at all.
