Agents broke the window, forced Daniel Flores-Martinez to his knees and slammed him to the ground while his children and his wife, a U.S. citizen, sobbed in the car.

She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest.

Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital.

She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids Los Angeles.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"
