Immigration officials in Minneapolis dragged a woman out of her car and arrested her on Thursday after she repeatedly refused to listen to directions and drive away.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents were conducting an immigration raid along a blocked-off road when the unnamed woman tried to drive down the same road.
Agents immediately surrounded her car and told her to move along in the other direction, but she refused, making a fuss about a doctor’s appointment and even yelling profanities at them.
“This b-tch just said he was gonna break my window if I don’t move my car!” she said at one point as she pointed at an ICE agent.
As the woman continued berating the officers instead of listening to their orders, another ICE agent approached her passenger side window and broke it. Meanwhile, two officers cut the woman’s seatbelt and dragged her out of her vehicle so she could be arrested.

The woman predictably started crying about alleged police brutality.
“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 shouted.
The left immediately seized on the woman’s arrest, using it to also whine about the alleged evils of ICE.
“ICE TERRORIZES ANOTHER WOMAN,” leftist news aggregator Matt Drudge “reported” on his website.
“ICE agents wrench random disabled woman out of her car in terrifying Minnesota clash,” the Daily Mirror similarly reported.
One leftist commentator, Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American Immigration Council, alleged in a tweet that this sort of unnecessary chaos (which was caused by the woman, not ICE) “is what Stephen Miller wants to bring to every city.”
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.

Meanwhile, ICE official Marcos Charles confirmed to Fox News on Tuesday that at least 60 additional leftist agitators have been arrested in recent days in Minneapolis.
“We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions,” Charles said. “We’ve already arrested 60 … that have got in our way, impeded us, or assaulted an officer.”
But complicating matters is the refusal by Minnesota officials to get with the program. On Monday, the state of Minnesota and several cities, including Minneapolis, sued the Trump administration in an attempt to block its immigration enforcement activities.
“DHS agents have sown chaos and terror across the metropolitan area,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison said in a statement. “Schools have gone [into] lockdown.”
“Entire districts have had to cancel school for tens of thousands of students to ensure safety and offer online education. … Revenues are down, and some retail stores, daycares, and restaurants have actually closed because people are afraid to go out,” he added.
Department of Homeland Security spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin pushed back by slamming Ellison’s skewed priorities.
“Keith Ellison made it abundantly clear today he is prioritizing politics over public safety,” she said.
“It really is astounding that the Left can miraculously rediscover the Tenth Amendment when they don’t want federal law enforcement officers to enforce federal law—which is a clear federal responsibility under Article I, Article II, and the Supremacy Clause—and then go right back to federalizing every state responsibility possible when they get back in power. Spare us,” she added.
President Donald Trump has also defended ICE:
“Do the people of Minnesota really want to live in a community in which there are thousands of already convicted murderers, drug dealers and addicts, rapists, violent released and escaped prisoners, dangerous people from foreign mental institutions and insane asylums, and other deadly criminals too dangerous to even mention,” he wrote on Truth Social.
“All the patriots of ICE want to do is remove them from your neighborhood and send them back to the prisons and mental institutions from where they came, most in foreign Countries who illegally entered the USA through Sleepy Joe Biden’s HORRIBLE Open Borders Policy,” his Truth Social post continued.
