From CBS News:

Wow! Those evil ICE agents!

Now for the big reveal, again from CBS News. She’s a convicted criminal who was deported 7 times before:

KDBC obtained documents filed in federal court stating that Homeland Security Investigators (HIS)  Border Enforcement Security Taskforce (BEST) Agents received information that an individual who had been previously deported was in the United States. The information stated that the individual was residing at the Center Against Sexual and Family Violence. IT also stated that the individual had previously been arrested for possession of stolen mail and illegal re-entry into the United States and sentenced to 12 months and a day.

It also stated HIS BEST Agents conducted surveillance at the county courthouse in attempts to see the individual.

According to the affidavit filed by federal agents, the individual has been removed from the United States six times and voluntarily returned to Mexico one other time.

In other words, the reason ICE acted the way it did was because of her past criminal history. Why is this even a story?

Emily Bazelon of the NYT said the story made her “heart hurt”:

And from Fusion:

And many, many more examples here.
