Do you think these videos could be real? Are "ICE" agents really throwing petite mothers to the ground in front of their children?

I am reading some things that are so "over the top," I find them difficult to believe. But I look for signs of AI, or videos used out of context, and I cannot find them.
Do you believe "ICE" agents are "arresting" brown people at court houses, in convenience stores, and even on the street?
In one instance, in the video I'll link, there is a woman thrown to the floor in front of her children. The children are crying, of course. I don't know if she was ultimately detained or not.
Do you believe this stuff is really happening in the US? I do, but I cannot prove it.
I went to the "Barrio" last night to get some Thai take-out. It was just business as usual. No Mexican or Thai people being jumped. No antisemitism. Just business as usual.
What do you think? Is this real?

I have not seen any ICE raids or arrests anywhere in my community or in any of my travels. Nor have I seen any immigrants or "brown" people being harassed or ridiculed. There are a lot of latinos here in Florida where I live, and they are welcomed and accepted by everyone. I rarely even see any discrimination against them.

@TheHorse I'm sure it is happening. But I think maybe it's primarily located in the larger cities. I think Florida is similar to California in that we have a very diverse population, and people are more accepting of outsiders here. But interestingly, most of the "news" or videos I have seen/heard of ICE raids have all been located in California. So what gives? Is it all fake?

@moffittjc No Clue. I have never seen an Ice raid here. We all get along pretty well here. I hope nobody tries to change that.

What is sad is that the news focuses in on THIS story while ignoring the bigger picture, that the people ICE are arresting are ILLEGALS NOT ALLOWED TO BE IN THE COUNTRY. This kind of thing, unfortunately, causes a distraction to talk about something other than what's really going on and why.
And for the record, Trump DID NOT approve of this agent's actions, and the agent was immediately suspended.

OH its happening. 50,000 dollar signing bonus and for people who could not make police or military or were kicked out. I can see them having double the hate as far as officers.
They are Mad at the world and they take it out on people they think is making their lives so hard when its really themselves. Plus, I heard in the military all the time how they love the job because no other job allows you get away with certain stuff like you can here.

@TheHorse When you sign up to Ice, Trump made that so people would join his Army. You get a 50,000 dollar signing bonus and no experience needed, just go after the brown people.

All I know is that ICE agents are arresting criminals, not children. If the person is in this country illegally, they've broken our laws and should be deported. Don't believe everything on line.

Spot on. Although the story does happen to be real. But of course, Horse is trying to paint this as "Trump doing business as usual," leaving out the part where the Trump administration immediately suspended the agent in this case.
From the news:
“The officer’s conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE. Our ICE law enforcement are held to the highest professional standards and this officer is being relieved of current duties as we conduct a full investigation,” Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement to The Hill.

I can't prove it either; but it makes sense to me.

@porwest Which one? The guy who threw the lady to the floor in front of her kids? Glad to hear it.
I am OK with long sentences for people who might jump me from behind or break into my home. But thatis different from just being here, trying to find work.

ICE is arresting and sending home people who DO NOT BELONG HERE, just like they would do if someone broke into your house.

If they can man handle old men, I very much think this is real. I have read many stories, and they aren't pretty. They sure aren't respectful or polite. Yes, I believe this stuff is really happening. Too many stories like this for it not to be. I freaked out last week when I read where ICE was here in Boise. OMG! But they were just looking at some buildings they were going to close. It seems like this is only happening in the larger eastern states. But that could change at any time.
Ugh! I wonder how many of these Mexican and Thai people are nervous every day they go to work. Gheez!
D*m you Trump!

@celticeagle I'll have to see whether the Mexican dudes are still standing on street corners here, looking for day work.

ICE agents are arresting illegals who are not permitted to be in our country. To paint it as anything else is disingenuine, and frankly ignorant. Illegals are criminals, by definition, and you round up criminals wherever they are. That's how it works.
Now, regarding what happened here, this was not acceptable, and the Trump administration was quick to move to suspend the agent pending an investigation, which is the right response and the right thing to do when an agent goes "rogue" and goes beyond the scope of his powers.

“The officer’s conduct in this video is unacceptable and beneath the men and women of ICE.
