Milagros Barreto, a worker advocate with La Colaborativa, a pro-immigrant group in Chelsea, Massachusetts, said she witnessed ICE throw a Guatemalan woman to the ground on Friday despite her being a permanent resident. Reuters captured images of the woman on the ground, her hands pinned behind her back, being detained by federal agents while her son stood nearby crying. Further images showed her in distress as she was taken away by emergency responders.
The woman's shoulder was scratched and she aggravated an existing back injury, requiring her to be hospitalized, Barreto said. She gave the woman's name only as Hilda.
Reuters was unable to immediately confirm the details of Barreto's account or establish the immigration status of the woman detained.
Standoffs in major cities
The woman, Monica Moreta-Galarza from Ecuador, is seeking asylum in the U.S., ProPublica said.
“The officer’s conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE,“ she said. DHS largely gutted its oversight offices as part of broad government layoffs and firings at the start of the Trump administration, including the office charged with investigating civil rights violations by personnel.
Heavily armed ICE agents paced the rooftop of the detention facility and fired volleys of pepper-balls, pellets that shatter on impact and release clouds of pepper spray, at protesters who were chanting and holding signs.
DHS said in a statement that “over 200 rioters” blocked access to one of the facility’s gates and that 30 “swarmed another gate” and attempted to enter the property.
Meanwhile in Michoacan, Mexico, the funeral was set to take place on Friday of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez, who was pulled over in a Chicago suburb earlier this month and shot dead by an ICE agent. DHS has said the agent feared for his life, although in bodycam footage the agent can be heard saying that his injuries were nothing major- REUTERS
