Summary
Carolina Molina, 36, said an ICE agent in Falls Church pointed a gun at her head after she yelled an insult from her car and then tried to record the encounter.
Molina, a U.S. citizen, said she was leaving after handing out business cards near local law offices when the agent blocked her vehicle and accused her of following officers around.
DHS disputed her account, saying Molina drove in circles around ICE officers and tried to harm them by weaponizing her vehicle, prompting a stop because agents feared for their safety.
The department said officers collected her background information and that she could face criminal prosecution, while Molina denied trying to run anyone over and said the accusation was fabricated.
