"...Garcia Orjuela said the videos showed the brutality of ICE’s arrest strategies, with agents immediately smashing windows and bypassing people’s fundamental legal protections. “MJMA asserted her right to remain silent and was advising the other passengers in the car. The officers didn’t like that. It makes them do their job.” She added: “You have to know who you’re targeting before you arrest somebody. That is how due process works.”
Stephen Manning, Innovation Law Lab’s executive director, said the footage illustrated ICE’s “arrest first, justify later” tactics and praised MJMA for calmly defending her rights: “She knew the law better than the agents. She asked them to follow the law, and they actually violated the law [in response]. This never should have happened.”..."
