An illegal alien has filed a federal lawsuit against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) over alleged misconduct during her 2025 arrest.<\/p>\n

Illegal alien Nancy Martinez alleges in the suit<\/a> that she was about to take her children to school in June of 2025 when masked ICE agents surrounded her vehicle, removed her and her kids from it, tossed her into an unmarked ICE car, and told her that she would be deported.<\/p>\n

The suit alleges that the agents didn\u2019t show a warrant and didn\u2019t try to speak to Martinez in Spanish. She evidently doesn\u2019t speak English. It\u2019s not clear why she expected the ICE agents to speak Spanish to her in America.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the back of the ICE car, handcuffed and surrounded by agents, I had my first ever panic attack,\u201d she said Monday via a translator during a Zoom call that was joined by several Democrats, according to the CT Mirror<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a mother, I take pride in being a planner, coordinating my work schedule around teachers\u2019 conferences, doctors\u2019 appointments, and sports matches. But nothing, absolutely nothing, could have prepared me for what I saw looking out the window: there were my children clinging to their grandma and calling out to me as I got farther and farther away,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

A Connecticut mother is suing the federal government after masked, armed ICE agents surrounded her vehicle while she was taking her children to school, removed and handcuffed her without displaying a warrant, and abducted her without properly confirming that the children had a\u2026 pic.twitter.com\/7o38y2e4zw<\/a><\/p>\n

According to the suit, her arrest devastated her children, both of whom are U.S. citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cNine-year-old U.A.M., once a bubbly child, now struggles to sleep through the night,\u201d the suit reads. \u201cAt school, he frequently interrupts class with his crying. Once, he sat down outside a classroom, told his teacher that he missed his mom, and stayed on the ground crying for almost twenty minutes. Another time, he went up to a police officer at school, asking why the officer had taken away his mother and pleading to return her to him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFourteen-year-old M.A.M. struggles to focus on her schoolwork,\u201d the suit continues. \u201cShe has had to take on significant responsibilities at home to help raise her younger brother. Shouldering the weight of being a growing teenager and now a caregiver has taken its toll. Following her mother\u2019s abduction, M.A.M. became a shell of herself, uncharacteristically irritable, reticent, and withdrawn.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lawsuit specifically seeks redress and damages \u201cfor the abusive manner in which the agents abducted Ms. Martinez off the street, the terror and trauma they inflicted on her family, and the reckless disregard the agents demonstrated for her and her children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Martinez now lives in Mexico while her children remain in the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne year and six days ago, I lost everything,\u201d she said during Monday\u2019s Zoom call, according to CT Insider<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m here to remind New Haven\u2019s immigrant community that we are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n

During her arrest last year, one of the agents used their hand to mime a plane taking off, signaling to Martinez that she would be deported.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn that moment, I finally understood that this was ICE and that they were taking me away from my family, my community, and my home,\u201d she said on Monday.<\/p>\n

The suit also alleges that after Martinez was arrested, ICE agents left her children with their grandmother without even speaking to her or confirming her identity. In a statement to CT Insider, the Department of Homeland Security denied this.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore departing the scene, officers confirmed that Martinez\u2019s mother was home and would be able to look after her children,\u201d a DHS spokesperson said. \u201cICE does not separate families. Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administration\u2019s immigration enforcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

The spokesperson added that \u201cbeing in detention is a choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cParents can take control of their departure with the CBP Home app and reserve the chance to come back the right legal way,\u201d the spokesperson explained. \u201cThe United States is offering illegal aliens $2,600 and a free flight to self-deport now. We encourage every person here illegally to take advantage of this offer and reserve the chance to come back to the U.S., the right legal way to live the American dream. If not, you will be arrested and deported without a chance to return.\u201d<\/p>\n
