A woman was grabbed, screaming, by plainclothes men from the Salt Lake airport.
Reporters asked ICE if it was their arrest.
At 9:48 am, ICE emailed to say no, it wasn't us.
Then, in a 3:16 p.m. email, they confirmed, 'This was ICE.'"
No explanation for the arrest.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
