The arrest took place just moments after she had provided evidence intended to hold her alleged attacker accountable.

According to the advocate who accompanied her, the federal agents were not wearing uniforms. They forced the 'screaming' woman into an unmarked vehicle before driving away. When the advocate attempted to seek help, police officers reportedly told her: 'We can't do a thing. They're ICE.'
