‘I’m just a mom!’ Panicked anti-ICE agitator begs for mercy as she’s accused of impeding operation targeting gang members
A panicked anti-ICE agitator begged for mercy from federal officers, pointing out her motherhood, after being caught on video allegedly interfering with a crackdown on gangs in Portland, Oregon, last week.
“I’m just a mom! I’m just a mom!” the hyperventilating woman tells an officer, as seen on footage courtesy of Katie Daviscourt of the Post Millennial. “Can you just give me a warning? I have kids.”
“You are surrounded by federal agents,” the officer tells her.
“I understand, I’m just worried about my community,” she responds.

The Post Millennial reports: “The agitator, who had been recklessly driving through the neighborhood to impede ICE operations, was stopped by ICE officials on Thursday afternoon after blowing a red light and nearly colliding with a school bus while trailing federal vehicles, which she attempted to box in multiple times with her Mustang. The Post Millennial captured the incident during an exclusive ride-along with the ICE Seattle Field Office’s Portland branch.”
Julio Hernandez, the ICE deputy field officer director, said the woman has been referred to Homeland Security Investigations for criminal prosecution.
“She placed our officers in danger. She blocked in our vehicles several times,” Hernandez told the news site. “We gave her multiple warnings to leave the area. This time, enough was enough.”
He explained agitators were posted in various spots in the gang-ridden neighborhood to act as “spotters,” letting illegal immigrants to ICE operations by using whistles, horns and vehicles.

“Like [DHS Secretary Kristi Noem] said, enough is enough, we’re drawing the line, and that’s what we did now,” Hernandez told TPM during the ride-along. “We have her information. We’re going to refer the case over to Homeland Security Investigations and the U.S. Attorney’s Office.”
