Video Shows Federal Agent Shove Woman During ICE Arrest at NYC Courthouse

Local officials demand discipline over masked agents' conduct.

Overview

  • A man was taken into custody at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan after a routine immigration hearing, according to reports and video from the scene.
  • Multiple videos show a masked federal agent grabbing and pushing a woman to the floor as her young children watched during the confrontation.
  • New York City Comptroller Brad Lander and State Sen. Gustavo Rivera said the woman was injured and required hospital treatment.
  • Lander alleged agents did not identify themselves or present a warrant, while Rep. Dan Goldman said the woman, identified as Monica, and her two children sought refuge in his office and he urged DHS to discipline those involved.
  • ICE and DHS had not issued public statements as of Friday morning, as the incident fuels scrutiny of increasingly aggressive courthouse arrests under stepped-up immigration enforcement.
