    Authorities have not told lawyers what charges Velez faces, but an official with the Department of Homeland Security told media that she was arrested for assaulting an Ice officer.<<

    Self defense against an illegal arrest - hopefully she gets a MASSIVE settlement out of this to try and teach this Republican administration a lesson.

      The only ones I’ve seen saying that so far that any violence came from her is DHS, and last I heard they only said it to the news, not a judge. There’s an argument if it even happened, that it was self defense, but we’ve seen them lie to the media and back out at court so many times, it may not even come to it.

    Someone tell The Guardian they need to get more aggressive with the headlines if they don’t want to spend the next few years lobbing bombs at Berlin.
