Surveillance footage showing two federal agents tackling a Venezuelan man in a New Hampshire courthouse in February has gone viral, raising new concerns about immigration enforcement tactics in sensitive locations such as courtrooms.
The man, Arnuel Marquez Colmenarez, 33, was in court in Nashua, New Hampshire, on February 20 for arraignment on misdemeanor charges, including driving under the influence, driving without a license, and leaving the scene of an accident. As he exited an elevator inside the courthouse, he was approached by two men identifying themselves as federal agents (one wearing a sweatshirt labeled "ATF") who attempted to detain him.
