ICE Arrest of Illegal Migrant Fugitive at San Francisco Airport Sparks Fear-Mongering — Here’s what Really Happened
Viral video of a woman being nabbed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at San Francisco International Airport sparked mass online fear-mongering about Trump’s deployment of immigration agents to help ease the TSA security crisis.
Video captured the moment ICE agents began handcuffing a crying woman on Sunday at around 10 p.m. inside the airport’s Terminal 3.
The officers were met with backlash from multiple passengers who filmed the scene and yelled at them, as the woman continued to cry with a young girl standing beside her, also sobbing. . .
@argw6 ICE at SFO 3/22 10pm I’m not from the area- if anyone knows what organizations in the area I can send this to to help identify this woman please let me know.

However, the Department of Homeland Security told Fox News that the woman was part of a family of illegal Guatemalan migrants who have had removal orders since 2019.
Agents arrested the family members as part of a targeted operation, but as they were being escorted away, the woman broke free and ran, according to DHS. (Read more from “ICE Arrest of Illegal Migrant Fugitive at San Francisco Airport Sparks Fear-Mongering — Here’s what Really Happened” HERE)
