I've asked Steven to post one article where this sort of thing has happened. And he has been unable to find one. What I said was that the INS conducts armed raids on a regular basis. You somehow turned around and asked for a precedent for an armed raid to retrieve a foreign child who was being forcibly prevented from returning to his parent by a politically-motivated exile community. I didn't say I could find a precedent for that; I'm not sure anyone could. This is not and never was a custody case. The US does not have jurisdiction in the custody of a nonresident alien minor. The protestors may not have been an evil mob, but there had been threats and threatening statements, and it is by no means unreasonable to think that Juan Miguel would have received a less than friendly reception there. The Miami Cuban clique has a somewhat spotty reputation, I'm sure you could find out why if you looked. If they had their way, we'd be sending American boys over to Cuba to restore their properties and privileges - the properties and privileges they misused drastically enough to force the common people to turn to Communism.
