A woman could be seen in chaotic footage as she was dragged from her car by ICE agents during protests in Minnesota following the fatal shooting of Renee Good.
The unidentified woman was allegedly blocking ICE agents working to capture illegal immigrants on Tuesday when officers pulled from her the vehicle as she desperately clung onto the driver’s side door.
It is understood she had been attempting to wedge agents between her car and a second car, which was also blocking the road during an ICE operation in Minnesota.
‘I’m disabled, I’m trying to go to the doctor up there,’ the woman shouted at the crowd which had gathered around the agents, heckling and filming them.
The agents, who all wore masks and sunglasses to shield their identities, threw the distressed woman to the ground after successfully getting her out of the car. Her seat belt was still tugging at her neck.
As at least three male officials shoved the woman against her car and handcuffed her, distressed protesters shouted, begging them to stop.
‘Stop, stop,’ the protesters repeatedly shouted. ‘That’s so f**ked up,’ another said, while a third added: ‘All you do is hurt.’
At least 60 agitators have been charged with impeding or assaulting immigration authorities in Minnesota in the last five days, ICE official Marcos Charles told Fox.
‘We will be arresting anybody that interferes or impedes in any of these enforcement actions,’ Charles said. ‘We’ve already arrested 60… that have got in our way, impeded us or assaulted an officer.’

Violent agitators wearing black hooded shirts and gas masks were also captured at the scene, hounding agents as they attempted to carry out immigration efforts.
‘Nazis,’ one agitator yelled. ‘You will pay for your crimes.’
Some 2,000 federal officers have been dispatched to the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in what the Department of Homeland Security has called its largest operation ever.
The protests were sparked in Minnesota following the January 7 death of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis.
Demonstrations also took place in New York City and the nation’s capital of Washington D.C. on Tuesday in ongoing unrest over the federal immigration crackdown.
Good, a 37-year-old mother-of-three, was shot three times in the face by ICE agent Jonathan Ross last week after she ignored demands to get out of her car, reversed it and tried to drive off during a protest.
Witnesses said Good and her wife, Rebecca, were acting as legal observers and filming the protest.
In harrowing footage, Rebecca Good admitted she encouraged her spouse to confront agents. ‘I made her come down here, it’s my fault,’ she cried.
In surveillance footage, Renee was seen apparently blocking the road with her SUV for four minutes before she was killed.

Almost immediately after the shooting, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem described Good’s actions as ‘an act of domestic terrorism’ as she defended Ross as an experienced law enforcement professional who followed his training.
She claimed he shot Good after he believed she was trying to run him or other agents over with her vehicle.
Volatile anti-ICE protests erupted from New York to Texas to California in the wake of Good’s death and the Trump administration’s defense of the shooter, triggering arrests and mounting fears of nationwide unrest.
In Austin, Texas, at least five protesters were arrested at the weekend, while hundreds of demonstrators flooded downtown Los Angeles on Saturday night, prompting police to issue dispersal orders and form skirmish lines outside federal facilities.
In Minneapolis, where Good was killed, thousands marched from Powderhorn Park to Lake Street, chanting her name through immigrant neighborhoods.
Mayor Jacob Frey said most protests had remained peaceful although 29 were arrested on Friday night for vandalizing property.

Trump himself weighed in on the immigration saga on Tuesday night after it emerged that Good’s father is a MAGA supporter.
‘Her father, who was a big supporter of yours, he’s heartbroken right now,’ CBS’ News Tony Dokoupil told the president.
‘He’s also heartbroken because your administration so quickly has come out and said she’s a domestic terrorist. What do you want to say to her father right now?’
Trump argued: ‘The bottom line is we have hundreds of thousands of murderers in our country, killers. ICE is trying to get them out. They were let in through an open border policy of Sleepy Joe Biden.
‘ICE is working very hard to get them out, their job is being made very, very difficult.’
Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison earlier described the efforts by ICE agents as a ‘federal invasion’ in the state, accusing them of ‘sowing chaos and terror across the metropolitan area.

‘Schools have gone [into] lockdown. Entire districts have had to cancel school for tens of thousands of students to ensure safety and offer online education.
‘Revenues are down, and some retail stores, daycares and restaurants have actually closed because people are afraid to go out.’
DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin hit back on Tuesday, accusing Ellison of making ‘it abundantly clear today he is prioritizing politics over public safety.’
