"Gun-toting ICE agents allegedly forced their way into a Queens home last week without announcing themselves or presenting a warrant for a person who no longer lived there, the New York Immigration Coalition said Wednesday. The nonprofit advocacy group stated that agents broke down the door of a family's residence at a basement apartment in Elmhurst on Nov. 13. According to the organization, the agents pointed firearms at a mother and her four children and pulled the woman from her bed before threatening to return."
"Video recorded by the mother and shared by the NYIC shows her pleading with the agents, telling them her baby is in bed with her as they move to take her from the room. I have my baby, no! the woman is heard saying as agents stand in the doorway with a gun and a flashlight pointed at her face. Then I'm coming to get you by your baby, an agent replies before entering the bedroom and removing the woman from the bed."

Exterior footage shows an agent turning away a camera. Neighbors called police; NYPD officers briefly spoke with agents before departing. ICE sought an individual who no longer lived at the address.
