To the editor — The information we have received today is that ICE agents captured a man here in Yakima in the parking lot of Walmart on Christmas Day as he was emptying his shopping basket into his car.After the capture, these fellows may have committed a crime. These fellows are paid with our tax money to do this job. They seized the items in the gentleman’s cart.Fortunately, there was a concerned citizen who filmed this situation. So we witnessed it. We are taxpayers and we watched those agents perform an act that we paid for.I think we would do well as a country to remember a verse from the Bible — Matthew 25:35 in which Jesus said "I was a stranger and you took me in.” We can do better as a country and as individuals.THERESA WATERSYakimaYakima Herald-Republic opinion section glossary Editorials Editorials reflect the opinion of the newspaper’s editorial board and are meant to offer perspective, raise questions or advocate for change.
