Overview
- The Jan. 29 St. Peter video shows agents boxing in a woman’s car, exiting with guns drawn, and pulling her from the vehicle.
- As she was pursued, the woman called police for help; she was briefly detained and then released to the local police chief.
- On MS NOW’s Morning Joe, Joe Scarborough denounced the conduct as “paramilitary” and cited recent Minneapolis shootings by ICE.
- The footage shows an agent step in front of the car, echoing a leaked memo’s warning to avoid that tactic after deadly encounters.
- A DHS account reported by NewsBusters alleges the woman obstructed a targeted arrest and drove recklessly before the stop.
