"Armed and masked federal agents stepped out and said Hassane's name. They were here for him. There's a baby in the car, Barry told the agents. There's a baby. Agents shattered his driver's side window. Glass sprayed over the baby's car seat, Nene Barry said. Her husband was arrested and pulled into an unmarked police car. Officers left the scene in a matter of minutes."
"I have a baby, Nene Barry repeated in broken English. There was a car seat in the back with one of those baby blankets you get at the hospital. There were broken glass shards all over it, one witness told the paper, on condition of anonymity due to concerns for their safety. I carefully pulled back the blanket and there was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying."
On Jan. 21 in Maine, asylum-seeker Hassane Barry was boxed in by four unmarked vehicles and arrested while returning from a passport appointment for his one-month-old. Armed, masked federal agents identified Barry and shattered his driver's-side window after he warned them there was a baby inside. Glass sprayed over the infant's car seat. Barry's wife, Nene Barry, who lacks a driver's license and speaks little English, was left alone in the car with the baby. Video shows shards of glass on the car seat and a witness described the infant as tiny. Hassane Barry, 38, has no known criminal record and worked as a tow truck driver for AAA and as a ride-share driver.
