Defending the use of force, a senior Justice Department official said the family had four or five bodyguards who had permits to carry concealed weapons and that there were reports of weapons in the house behind that of Elian's great-uncle Lazaro Gonzalez, where the boy had been staying before the reunion with his father.
In addition, Marisleysis Gonzalez, the great-uncle's daughter, told a federal official last Thursday that if agents were coming to pick up Elian, "they ought to know that there are more than cameras in the house," according to Justice spokeswoman Carole Florman. "We took that as a threat," Florman said.
