An army of ICE agents arrived in a military tank with a battering ram to arrest a 61-year-old migrant over the weekend amid Donald Trump's crackdown.
Alfonso Garcia Vega was apprehended at an address in Phoenix on Sunday as his horrified family looked on.
Video showed the armored vehicle barreling down the quiet residential street flanked by a convoy of police cars.
The raid took place as Trump's illegal migrant deportation plan moves ahead at warp speed.
Vega's son criticized the heavy use of force to detain his father who is in poor health.
'I think it was unnecessary for them to do this,' Marco Garcia told AZ Central.
'I think they used this as propaganda. I think they used it to show an example of what they can do. It was like a show to them.'
His father was taken into custody after armed officers dressed in tactical gear descended on the property.
Video taken at the scene shows a woman encouraging Vega to remain calm as the officers swarm the street.
Suddenly a flash bang grenade explodes sending a crowd which had gathered running.
'This is the police with a warrant,' a voice says over a speaker. Exit the residence immediately with your hands empty and above your head.'
The clip then cuts to Garcia shouting at officers who are standing guard at the scene.
'Where's the warrant man? Who's the leader? Who's in charge? You guys are treating us like criminals,' he shouts.

TS, go home.
“You guys are treating us like criminals,’ he shouts.”
Congratulations, you’re catching on!
Hey, cartel members grow old too.
He should have self deported.... or better yet, he should never have broken into our country illegally in the first place.
Good for Homan...
If the shoe fits!
Proof?
It real easy with AI to create a deep fake video and claim it was something when it from a different event.
There are many examples of the media faking coverage and taking biased parties statements as truth without any verification
Their favorite trick is when some thug is shot trying to rob someone is to get the thugs family on video to try and provoke fake outrage that the thug was shoot
“Tank” my Royal Irish Ass! Looks like an MRAP to me.
The british don’t know what a tank looks like.
Roses are red
Iris are black
I’m sorry Alfonso
You’ve got to go back
“You guys are treating us like criminals”
Exactly.
I was hoping for video of a “tank,” but I didn’t see one.
👍👍
These are the same press morons that don’t know the differences among an AR from an AK from a Glock from a revolver. Anything vaguely military with some armor on it is a “tank”.
Have these reporters ever seen a tank? Because they don’t look like that.
The comments section is gold. Not many feeling sorry for the illegal alien. Almost all supporting ICE.
In your beloved Mehico, they treat you like corpses. That why you’re in America waving your Mexican flags and hiding from your beloved Mexican government who won’t even give you a spare avocado to make some “quac.”
What?
Indeed. Obama-Biden has been passing out these Bearcat APCs to even small-town police for years. They are a very long way from being tanks.
You ARE a criminal! Having said that, I don’t blame them for wanting to be here; God has blessed America above every nation in the world, except Israel. (and He did it because of that brave, lowly group who dedicated this land and covenanted with God those hundreds of years ago at Plymouth Rock, and those following them who also trusted in Him. God keeps His covenants!) But these people must come in the legal way. This man has had decades to go back to Mexico and seek legal immigration. He was counting on his luck to keep him here; his luck just ran out. I am sorry for him and his family, but he cannot stay.
