A woman in Minneapolis was pulled from her car and arrested by ICE agents on Tuesday after she told them that the street they were blocking for a raid was also blocking her way to a doctor’s appointment.
The woman was seen arguing with masked agents as they told her to move her car up the street.
“This bitch just said he was gonna break my window if I don’t move my car!” the woman said from the driver’s seat, pointing at the ICE agent yelling in her face before throwing up her hands in frustration.
The ICE agents told the woman again to move along. Then one agent walked to the passenger-side window and broke it, while two others cut her seatbelt and pulled her out of her car.
“I’ve been beat up by police before, I’m disabled just trying to go to the doctor up there, that’s why I can’t move!” she says before being pushed against her car and arrested. Protesters shouted in disgust, and whistles and car horns blared throughout the clip.
“All you do is hurt!” one protester yelled at the agents, joined by a chorus of “Fuck you.” The woman was then put in handcuffs.
“This is what living under a federal siege looks like,” Minnesota state Senator Omar Fateh wrote on X. “This isn’t about public safety — this is terrorism.”
This is just one of many distressing scenes that have come out of Minneapolis since the Department of Homeland Security deployed even more masked, armed agents following ICE’s killing of Renee Nicole Good.
“I’ve been talking to people in Minneapolis, and the stories I’m hearing are traumatizing; people waking up to the smell of tear gas, wrecked cars left in the middle of roadways, businesses locked down, a state of fear,” American Immigration senior fellow Aaron Reichlin-Melnick said. “This is what Stephen Miller wants to bring to every city.”
