71-year-old U.S. citizen Barbara Stone was handcuffed and bruised by masked ICE agents while she was legally documenting ICE arrests at the San Diego courthouse.
An ICE agent accused the grandmother of pushing her, which Stone denied after being held in custody for for eight hours, reports NBC 7:
“I have a large bruise there,” Stone said on Wednesday. “I feel mentally and physically traumatized.”
In video of the incident, which was shared with NBC 7, viewers can see the moment tensions boiled over.
An officer says Stone pushed her. NBC 7 made several attempts to contact ICE about the incident but was referred to the Federal Protective Service, a different agency, and has yet to hear back.
