After
the Minutemen had been onsite for about an hour and a half, the mobile
center was shut down - above photo.
Once
Minutemen began to observe and report, documenting and phoographing.
The Mexican Nationals no longer ventured forth to the center and many,
who had been in attendance, left the mobile center.
MEXICAN
DIPLOMAT TELLS MINUTEMEN - LEAVE!
The
Mexican diplomat, above, approached the Minutemen as the Minutemen
were peacefully strolling about- on United States
public school property - observing and taking photos of the event.
The
Mexican diplomat repeatedly said, "This is a private event for
Mexicans only.
You
cannot be here. I am telling you
nicely as I do not want to call the police. Please leave."
Minutemen assembled on
Minuteman
Project National Rally Spokesman Raymond Herrera said to the Mexican
dipomat "No, we will not leave. We are guaranteed freedom of assembly
under OUR Constitution."
I said
to the diplomat, "The
"Oh,"
she agreed. "

The
Mexican diplomat was particularly vexed by our photographing of the
event. "DO
NOT TAKE PHOTOS," she commanded repeatedly.
Minutemen
stated that in the
<>"No,
you
cannot
take photos," she
insisted. Herrera and the diplomat then entered into a lengthy
discussion in Spanish.
GANG
MEMBER with application in hand
The
man, above photo, displayed
gang hand signals and yelled out "THIS IS OUR TERRITORY!" The Mexican
diplomat witnessed and seemingly approved of the
gang member at the "Mexican Only" event.
He
appeared to be filling out an application - in his left hand above.
Many have informally been told that in the Hispanic community only gang
members wear black shoes. Note in the photo above, the only man in
black shoes is the self-professed gang member.
DIPLOMAT
ASSAULTS!

Minutewoman, above, had been quietly photographing...

Suddenly
the door above opened, and the Mexican diplomat, came out yelling. The
photo above is just before she lashed out.

Minutewoman above, in her left hand, used her sign as a shield, while
pulling her camera back from the assaulting Mexican diplomat
POLICE
ARRIVE
Police
arrived after the assault.
Herrera
spoke with officers then requested they interview the diplomat.
Per
the officer's request, the diplomat came forward.
"They
must leave," she said to the officer. But the officer replied, "No,
this is a public school and they can be here."
"Yes,"
she replied.
"I
would like to see it," he officer said,
"I
don't have the paperwork with me," she said back to him.
"I
would like to see your identification, " the officer said.
"No,
you can't," she said to the officer. The officer at this point followed
her inside of the building.
"I
have no identification with
OFFICER
ON THE PHONE
After
the officer spoke with the diplomat, he returned to his vehicle and spoke on his cell phone
for about 15 to 20 minutes.
After
he hung up, he met with us. He said the consulate did not have paperwork but that he had
spoken to the individual who had granted the use of the school. He said
that we could continue to assemble on the school property.
He
appeared sympathetic about the Minutewoman assault, but said the
Mexican Consulate staff had diplomatic immunity.
