Had to check the date on the article because this is not the first woman in scrubs on her way to work being yanked out of a car while telling ICE that she is a citizen.
We live in a dystopian hell and for some reason we keep acting like it’s all fine.
Prison sentences for ICE agents who participate. There is no excuse.
Sure...Sure...
She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent.
She was eventually let go.
The first one is why the second one happened.
These ICE agents deserve the worst possible sentence. Especially as they caused many forced disappearances, which are crimes against humanity.
Surely Florida residents are all aware that the entire state is within the 100-mile freedom exclusion zone.
I have never heard of this and with the average IQ of a Floridian I wouldn’t think they are in the know either.
These fools are fucking around and about to find out.
Their force will be met with greater force.
It's more likely that you get healthcare
This is getting weirder. Did they realize they were being shitty on camera?:
“I’m a U.S. citizen, please help me,” she shouted after agents forced her to the ground. “This is unfair. Why are you doing this to me?”
Agents then placed her in a patrol vehicle. She was released a short time later.
“She refused to cooperate and identify herself with all levels of law enforcement there,” said agency spokesman Alan Regalado, noting Monroe County Sheriff’s Office deputies were there. A Herald reporter saw deputies moving drivers along who were slowing down to watch the stop.
After agents removed the woman from her car, they found her driver’s license in the vehicle, ran it through their system and confirmed she is a U.S. citizen, Regalado said.

Edit: So basically, she wouldn't show them her gold star. WTF country are we fucking living in.
A racist one
Edit: no lie, my phone autocorrected Fascist to racist (I probably fucked the spelling). Accurate both ways
Why would they bother with the license if the ICE facial app scan said she was an immigrant? I thought it was absolute and infallible...
When the ICE is dismantled, nobody with excellent salaries and benefits should hire those shitbags.
Hire them? They need to spend the rest of their lives in prison. The most egregious and violent ones should have capitol punishment handed down.
I really hope there's an american nuremberg, and i hope they claim they were just following orders, because as with the original nazis, that's been proven to not be a valid excuse. I hope these cunts go to prison for the rest of their lives.
You know how many Nazis were hung in the Nuremberg trials? Like 10. Everyone else was basically acquitted. You cannot rely on systems of power to punish transgressors.
Nothing will happen to them. Nothing happened to the National guard who murdered and stabbed students in 1970.
Kent state, Blair Mountain, irradiating special needs kids, Greenwood District, forced sterilisation, MOVE....
Sadly most Nazis minus a few higher ups went without punishment. Many scientists even ended up working for the US as part of Operation Paperclip. Like the Civil War, the punishment NEVER fits the crime and these assholes mainly get off scot-free with no repercussions. Which always leads to a resurgence at some point.
You lovingly forgave the traitors of the civil war, you gave high research positions to nazis after world war II, the signs are not hopeful
I hope she sues the fuck out of them.
Nothing would happen. Just a waste of money. And if it came to it, they would just get pardoned.
There is no law in the USA. Trump is the law.
From an outsider looking in, it sounds like more reason to sue or to run to the media. Otherwise, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy
or to run to the media
Frustratingly, the US media is owned by a small concentration of wealthy people who are being further enriched by Trump's bullshit.
Why the defeatist attitude?
Gestures around vaguely
I hope someone hunts down her assailants one by one, tortures them psychologically, makes them suffer physically and broadcasts it all as a warning to other fascist fuckwits before delivering upon them the fate all Nazis deserve.
Since when do we have to show our papers to the secret police?
If you are white, around 11 months. If you're not white... Well, haha... Funny thing that.. Umm, let me uhh, ya.. 
If she was American, she could afford real clothes instead of those cheap paper ones. Stands to reason.
All ICE agents should be treated with nothing but disdain and ridicule for the rest of their lives. We need a running list of their identities so they can be ostracized. Monuments should be built at Arlington so they can join Robert E. Lee in their shame. Make it a public urinal, right at the entrance.
Uhg. FTA:
"She is visible white and 👱 blond, a medical worker, speaks with no accent. This should be a warning sign for MAGAt as they could be preyed by ICE at any time!"
None of that is a reason to believe she's not an undocumented immigrant. And being brown, curly-haired, not-a-medical-worker is not any reason to believe they're an undocumented immigrant.
Is this objectionable behavior by ICE? absolutely. But not because of who the victim is. but because there IS a victim. everyone in this country is protected by the constitution, and afforded the rights of due process- which ICE is flagrantly violating the shit out of.
Can we please stop with the special classes of people like this?
It is important because of the reason they cite.
By going after this woman, they're making it clear to MAGA folk that allowing the rights of minorities to be eroded also removes their own protection. Even racist assholes should be appalled at the civil rights violations being committed.
