I can’t confirm if the woman had a miscarriage or not, but some folks on social media posts relating to this who claim to be from that community have said the woman unfortunately lost her baby. I checked local news sources to see if there were any updates or verifications. I haven’t found a follow-up yet, but I’ll keep looking. The video of the incident is really bad. They inhumanely knelt down on her and then dragged her across the asphalt. Edit: TRIGGER WARNING for those who choose to watch the video, since it’s presumably a pregnant woman being violently manhandled. Pregnancy or not, these violent actions and arrests being conducted nationwide aren’t justifiable. It’s still unconstitutional.
>ICE agents violently restrained a woman in Minneapolis on Monday, dragging her through the snow and pinning her face down as onlookers shouted that the woman was pregnant.
>During what was supposed to be a “targeted vehicle stop,” according to ICE officials, protesters swarmed the agents. Esme Murphy, a WCCO reporter, was on the scene, where she saw ICE holding a woman on the ground.
>**”Please let her go! She’s pregnant!” one onlooker shouted.**
>**“Get her off of her fucking stomach,” another said.**
>In response to this, one agent fired a Taser into the crowd. “Who wants more?” he taunted, according to WCCO.
>**”We kept yelling, ‘She is pregnant, she’s pregnant,’” resident Tonika Deutch told Murphy. “They put their knees on her. We kept telling them, ‘She can’t breathe, let her up, let her up.’”**
>**The woman was then dragged by one arm, as the crowd continued to yell and plead with the ICE agents.** Bystanders threw snowballs, and ICE agents fired pepper spray into the crowd—hitting Murphy, the reporter, as well as her photographer.
>ICE called the Minneapolis Police Department for backup. Once they arrived, the officers determined there was “no violence occurring” against the agents. “We have been training our officers for the last five years very, very intensely on de-escalation, but unfortunately that is … often not what we are seeing from other agencies in the city,” Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara told WCCO.
>According to ICE, they succeeded in arresting the targets of their operation: a young Ecuadorian couple who were abducted from their car, its windows shattered by agents. The woman is currently in custody in Illinois, and it’s not known where her husband is being held. Two U.S. citizens were also arrested for assaulting federal officers, according to CBS.

Sort of a dick move to honk your horn right near someone who’s arms are restrained so they can’t cover their ears.

these are dumb violent thugs in masks playing out their Nazi fantasies.
We as a country need to start fighting back against these cowards when they pull this shit.

Fun fact: all it takes to hang a trial is one juror to keep voting not guilty.

Every member of ICE should rot for life in jail. Fuck those masked MAGA terrorists.
The next administration needs to round them all up and hold them accountable for these crimes

I have a feeling that the myriad stories of how my fellow Minnesotans are fighting back, that ICE is gonna double down here versus give up. I tell ya a nice January deep freeze can’t come soon enough. Let’s see ICE operate when it’s -10° and they’re not used to it.

Does this look like a trained federal agent to anyone? This fat fuck has no business arresting anyone. This entire organization is a sham that needs to be shut down yesterday

Is ICE going to sue over use of snowballs on them?

These guys are so cool and tough! takes a real man to assault people day in and day out because they didn’t win a fake lottery ticket that says they’re American or because their skin is a certain color so they MIGHT not be from here.
Round of applause for these brave heroes who are backed by the fascist government, hide their faces and can do whatever they want because we have a racist piece of shit president! WOOOO!
I bet their families are unironically proud of most of them and cheer this shit on.

Snowball-based resistance was what kicked off the Boston Massacre in 1770, so it’s very in keeping with American history!

I saw this on Facebook and the comments were messed up. Not a shred of decency towards the woman. “Too bad shouldn’t have been here when you’re not supposed to be” was the overall attitude. Truly terrifying that people will still think like that even towards a pregnant woman.

As a mother this makes me fucking angry. Some of the comments on Facebook and conservative Reddits say it’s her fault for protesting and for resisting, but now I’m seeing that she wasn’t doing either, she was trying to drive to work, minding her own business and got pulled over. The Facebook comments were especially disgusting. I hope they are bots, and I really hope against hope that this woman didn’t miscarry.
I’m absolutely ashamed of this as an American. Politicians complain about this on social media but they are feigning, they do nothing. I’d like to see people stop being scaredy cats and DO something about this. 😡

It’s against Reddit’s TOS and probably some laws to state what should have been or what would be done if this were my family, but the ending condition for such a person committing such a heinous act would not be compatible with life.
