On May 17 at 5 in the morning the Chicano activist Carlos Montes got a 
wake-up
call at his home in California from Barack Obama's security state. The 
Los Angeles
County sheriff's SWAT team, armed with assault rifles and wearing 
bulletproof vests,
as well as being accompanied by FBI agents, kicked down his door, burst 
into his
house with their weapons drawn, handcuffed him in his pajamas and hauled 
him off
to jail.


Montes, one of tens of thousands of Americans who have experienced this
terrifying form of military-style assault and arrest, was one of the 
organizers of the
demonstrations outside the 2008 Republican National Convention in St. Paul,
Minn., and he faces trial along with 23 other anti-war activists from 
Minnesota,
as well as possible charges by a federal grand jury.
