Summary
Video posted by Virginia resident Carolina Molina shows a masked ICE agent aiming a gun at her through her car window during an enforcement encounter in Falls Church.
ICE agents accused Molina, a U.S. citizen, of almost running them over, but footage cited in the reports shows her car did not move as agents surrounded and blocked it.
Molina said the confrontation made her fear for her life and compared it to the Renée Good case, while the video renewed scrutiny of ICE's increasingly aggressive street tactics.
The incident adds to a recent string of clashes between immigration agents and drivers, with critics including Rep. Don Beyer demanding accountability as DHS cites rising attacks on officers.
