An Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer has been placed on administrative leave following a disturbing incident at a New York immigration court, where he was captured on video forcefully shoving a woman to the ground. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced the officer’s suspension on Friday, pending a full investigation into the matter. DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin condemned the officer’s actions, stating that such conduct is ‘unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE,’ who are expected to uphold the highest professional standards. The video, which went viral on social media, shows the woman, reportedly from Ecuador, crying as she approaches the officer in a courthouse hallway. The officer repeatedly says ‘adios’ before grabbing her, pushing her backward, and knocking her to the ground. Another angle of the incident reveals the woman shouting ‘take me, take me!’ in Spanish, as the officer forcibly moves her down the hallway and into a wall before shoving her to the ground. The officer then demands she ‘leave!’ in Spanish and instructs nearby officers to remove her from the building. The incident occurred as federal agents attempted to detain the woman’s husband, with her and her daughter clinging to him. This event is part of a broader crackdown on immigration under former President Donald Trump, which has seen ICE officers detaining immigrants at federal courthouses, including hundreds in New York City alone. Democratic Congressman Dan Goldman, whose district includes the courthouse, has called for disciplinary action and measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
