An ICE officer assaulted a woman after her husband’s hearing at New York City’s immigration court. Seeing her husband taken away by other ICE officers, the woman became distraught. She pleaded to an officer, who tried to shrug her off, saying “adios” several times. He proceeded to shove her into a wall outside the courtroom, before pushing her to the floor. The whole shocking scene was caught on camera by reporters and bystanders.
In the face of this ugly footage, the Department of Homeland Security announced that, “The officer’s conduct in this video is unacceptable … this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation.”
Of course, this behavior is by no means unique. With ICE systematically detaining people at immigration court hearings—inside the courthouses—situations like this have become routine. It’s just in this case, a viral video lifted the veil on the campaign of brutality against immigrants.
