"'Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated,' Lander wrote. 'Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was 'beneath the men and women of ICE.' This week, it's back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.' CBS News reported that two U.S. officials told the outlet that the agent had been reinstated."
"On September 25, video captured Monica Moreta-Galarza pleading with the agent after her husband of 17 years was abducted following a routine court appearance related to his asylum application. 'I didn't do anything to him,' she told CBS News in Spanish. 'I just begged him. Any human being would have some compassion, but he didn't have that.'"
An ICE agent forcibly threw a woman to the ground in a New York City courthouse while her two children watched. Video captured Monica Moreta-Galarza pleading with the agent after her husband of 17 years was taken following a routine court appearance on his asylum application. The city's comptroller, Brad Lander, posted that court-watchers confirm the agent has been reinstated and condemned the action as cruel. CBS News cited two U.S. officials confirming the reinstatement. A ProPublica reporter filmed the incident and reported that Moreta-Galarza was crying and fearful for her husband.
