ICE Encounter With Autistic 5-Year-Old Sparks Alarm

“This visceral event is just another frightening example of a broader and deeply disturbing pattern by this administration.”

The video from last Tuesday shows the little girl seated outside an open vehicle, drinking from a water bottle while surrounded by law enforcement. 

A man can be heard shouting “Don’t touch her!” and a woman identified as the girl’s mother tells one agent that the others took her daughter, who is 5 years old and on the autism spectrum. She also says, “Give me my daughter back.”
