A viral video out of Minneapolis has ignited fury after showing ICE agents forcibly dragging a disabled woman from her car during an enforcement operation tied to protests over a recent ICE killing — and the footage is exactly as disturbing as it sounds.
The video, reported by multiple news outlets, shows multiple masked ICE agents surrounding a vehicle, smashing a window, cutting the driver’s seatbelt, and yanking a woman out as she repeatedly screams that she is disabled and trying to get to a doctor’s appointment. At one point, she can be heard yelling, “I’m disabled! I’m trying to go to the doctor!” while officers haul her to the pavement.
The incident unfolded amid heightened tensions in Minneapolis following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old woman killed earlier this month by an ICE agent during a separate confrontation. That shooting — captured on video — has sparked days of protests and nationwide scrutiny of ICE’s use of force, particularly in urban enforcement actions.
In the newly circulating footage, bystanders can be heard shouting at the agents, questioning their actions and pleading for restraint. One voice asks, “Where is your humanity?”* while others curse in disbelief as the woman is pulled from the vehicle. The chaotic scene appears to involve flash-bangs and crowd-control weapons deployed nearby as agents move in.
The woman’s repeated statements that she was disabled and physically unable to comply have only intensified backlash. Disability advocates and civil-rights critics say the video raises serious questions about ICE’s treatment of vulnerable individuals and whether agents escalated force unnecessarily in a situation that clearly involved a medical limitation.
According to reporting cited by Raw Story, the Department of Homeland Security later claimed that ICE agents were executing an arrest warrant for an individual with a final removal order. However, the viral clips do not clearly establish the woman’s role in that operation or explain why such aggressive tactics were required against someone repeatedly stating she could not move.
Online reaction was immediate and brutal. Social media users described the footage as “horrifying,” “inhumane,” and emblematic of a broader pattern of unchecked ICE behavior. Critics argued that dragging a disabled woman from her car during a volatile protest environment reflects a culture more focused on domination than enforcement.
The incident has also poured gasoline on the broader fire surrounding ICE leadership and rhetoric in recent days, including inflammatory statements from Trump allies claiming federal agents enjoy near-total immunity while carrying out their duties. For many viewers, the Minneapolis video looks like the real-world consequence of that mindset.
As of now, there has been no detailed public accounting of the woman’s condition following the arrest, nor clarity on whether she has been charged. But the damage is already done. The footage has become another flashpoint in a growing national debate over ICE tactics, accountability, and the human cost of aggressive immigration enforcement.
