Video shows a woman being dragged from a car by ICE agents in Minneapolis as she tells them she is autistic

As violent clashes between ICE agents and protesters escalate in Minneapolis, video is now circulating of a woman being dragged from her car by masked agents as she claims to be an autistic person trying to go to the doctor.

The argument with the woman happened on Tuesday, reportedly not far from where Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ice agent last week.

In this Tuesday video, posted on YouTube by Freedom News TV, the woman is shown sitting behind the wheel of her car, parked on the road with the driver’s window down.

Several masked ICE agents approached his car and told him to move it, as one agent pointed to where he wanted to go. He answers, but it’s not clear what he’s saying or who he’s talking to.

The same agent then pulls on the driver’s side door handle, but is unable to open it. The woman then drives slowly forward and stops. The police approached the car again, and told it to move.

Meanwhile, another agent, located on the passenger side of the car, breaks the passenger door window. Throughout the altercation, protesters and ice workers could be heard yelling at each other and yelling at the woman. Some people who seemed to be protesting, told him to drive the car.

Several agents then approached the car, one opened the rear door on the driver’s side, while the other two tried to enter the front door on the driver’s side.

Finally, one agent grabs the woman, drags her out of the car and forces her onto the pavement. The two agents then pulled him to his feet and grabbed the window with one hand and shouted: “I’ve been there he was beaten by the police before. I’m paralyzed, I’m trying to go to the doctor upstairs, that’s why I can’t move.”

Another agent then approaches the driver and uses a knife to cut the woman’s seatbelt.

The woman also said that she is a “disabled autistic person” and is trying to see a doctor

At that moment, the masked agent grabs him, turns him to face the car, and two other agents join him to force his arms behind him. They handcuffed him and took him away as the protesters continued to whistle and shout at the ambassadors.

Tear gas, flash bang grenades and pepper balls were also fired at protesters during the protest, according to media reports.

CBC News requested comment from ICE about the incident, but the agency did not respond before publication.

Spokesman for Department of Homeland Security he told The Independent that ICE officers were on the scene to serve an arrest warrant for a 20-year-old man, originally from Ecuador, who they say entered the US illegally near El Paso, Texas, in 2019.

“While the police were carrying out their duty to enforce the law, a large crowd surrounded them and began to obstruct the operation of the law – a collective crime,” said a spokesperson for the newspaper.

“One rioter ignored the policeman’s orders to remove his car from the scene, and he was arrested for interfering. Another rioter hit the policeman by jumping on his back. Six of these protesters were arrested for assaulting the law enforcement officers.”

As the law enforcement agency continues to crack down on Minneapolis, it has become common for people to boo, taunt and whistle when they see armed immigrants driving past in unmarked vehicles or walking the streets.

This is all part of a grassroots effort to warn neighbors about ICE, confront agents about their actions and remind the government that citizens are watching agents as they execute warrants.

Homeland Security says more than 2,000 people have been arrested in the state since the beginning of December.
