  • A shocking example of just how bad these ICE operations are getting, both in their brutality, and the absolute shoddiness of the police work. ICE agents managed to crash their SUV into a woman driving a car, and then they proceeded to come out with guns pointed and arrest her for their own act of ineptitude. The Chicago Tribune caught up with her, and found she was a US citizen named Dayanne Figueroa who was merely intending to grab a cup of coffee on her way to work.
