The administration has dubiously claimed those agents <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scrippsnews.com\/us-news\/do-ice-agents-truly-have-absolute-immunity\">have &#8220;absolute immunity&#8221; to carry out their missions<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In yet another example of brutality by immigration agents, a U.S. citizen named Aliya Rahman was harassed and abducted by immigration agents on Tuesday while on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/world\/aliya-rahman-citizen-ice-arrest-9.7047853\">The officers dragged her out of her car and brought her to a detention center<\/a>, denying her medical care, which eventually resulted in her losing consciousness while in custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has described Rahman as an &#8220;agitator&#8221; who was obstructing ICE agents. But Rahman has explained that there was nowhere for her to move her car, and she couldn\u2019t exit her car as instructed by the officers because of her health issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m disabled trying to go to the doctor up there, that&#8217;s why I didn&#8217;t move,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/world\/aliya-rahman-citizen-ice-arrest-9.7047853\">she said<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/giaqvHDdY9g\">Video of the incident<\/a> shows Rahman trying to explain her situation to no avail as a masked agent smashes her passenger side window and agents forcefully drag her out of the car. In a later statement, she said that agents \u201cbound me like an animal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The incidents come a little more than a week after the killing of Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2026\/01\/16\/ice-shooting-renee-good-gunshot-wounds\/88210770007\/\">who was shot four times by an ICE agent<\/a> in Minneapolis as she attempted to remove herself from the situation by driving away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a seeming attempt to blame Good for her own death, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has <a href=\"https:\/\/truthout.org\/articles\/trump-blames-woman-killed-by-ice-agent-in-minneapolis-for-her-own-death\/\">wrongly described Good&#8217;s conduct as being a &#8220;domestic act of terrorism.&#8221;<\/a> President Donald Trump has peddled the false narrative that Good struck the ICE agent with her car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Assessments of video documenting the killing tell a different story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The visual evidence shows no indication that the agent who fired the shots, Jonathan Ross, had been run over. &#8230; It also establishes how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2026\/01\/15\/video\/ice-shooting-renee-good-minneapolis-videos.html\">a <em>New York Times <\/em>analysis said<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"truth-post-content-after\" id=\"truth-1063268676\"><div class=\"callout inline-callout p-4 mb-5 callout-- callout--white\" id=\"truth-334871\" data-callout-id=\"334871\" data-callout-theme=\"white\" data-callout-placement=\"Post Content - After\" data-callout-title=\"2026-01 Main Campaign (FRU) Trump is silencing political dissent.
