Alicia Martinez bawled outside the Target store like a bride who wakes up to rain on her wedding day.
For her, the rain came at 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 6, three weeks after she married Elias Aguillar-Martinez.
Martinez said her husband was taken by U.S. Border Patrol agents in what the department would later say was one of the region’s largest immigration sweeps in recent history. She watched as two uniformed agents snatched her husband, an illegal immigrant who works full-time in a dairy. He was later deported to Juarez, Mexico.”*
