Amid escalating clashes in Minneapolis, a video has surfaced showing a woman being forcefully removed from her car by masked ICE agents. The woman, who identified herself as a disabled autistic person trying to reach a doctor, was confronted by the agents just blocks away from where Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent the previous week.
The video, shared on YouTube by Freedom News TV, captures the woman sitting in her car with the driver’s side window down as multiple masked ICE agents instruct her to move her vehicle. Despite unclear dialogue, the woman is seen interacting with the agents.

When the woman slightly moves her car forward after an agent attempts to open her door, tensions escalate. An agent breaks the passenger window, leading to a verbal exchange between protesters and the agents, with some urging the woman to drive away.
Subsequently, agents surround the vehicle, with one agent breaking the woman’s seatbelt and forcibly removing her from the car. Despite her protests about being disabled and needing to see a doctor, the agents detain her as protesters voice their disapproval.
An agent cuts the woman’s seatbelt, and she reiterates her disability status before being handcuffed and taken into custody. Tear gas and other crowd control measures were reportedly used during the incident.
ICE officers were in the area to execute an arrest warrant for an individual who had entered the U.S. illegally, according to a Department of Homeland Security spokesperson. The agency highlighted the obstruction faced during the operation and subsequent arrests made due to interference.
