ICE agents pointed guns at a US citizen when she ran out on to her yard to ask why they were arresting her (legal immigrant) partner. (abcnews4.com)

Ring footage shows an agent pulling his gun on her, after which he shoves her down multiple times, pushes her back into house & slams the door.

All because she was asking for proof of a warrant. They refused to even give their names & badge numbers.

I'm reading replies to your message and I can't figure out why people are coming at you so hard, except that they're conflating you with a Trump supporter or sealion (which is obviously not true if they read your comments), and then just digging in.

You specifically say that this is "fucked up," but there doesn't seem to be a genuine dispute that you are correct, there was a deportation order. Hence, not a "legal immigrant." That sucks, it doesn't mean that the arrest is legal, but it is an objective inaccuracy.

I'm the absolute diametric opposite of a Trump supporter, but I agree we should use accurate words and facts.
