Distressing footage showed a female migrant scream 'Help me, I have my papers' as she was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers at Salt Lake City airport.
Marta Brizeyda Renderos Leiva, 39, was dragged away by plainclothes agents to the horror of eyewitnesses at the Utah travel hub on Wednesday.
Footage emerged of her arrest, with Leiva seen being grabbed her by the arms as she was placed in cuffs, pulling her up from the floor as she kicked out her legs.
She let out bloodcurdling cries as they did, shouting: 'Help me, help me, I have my papers. Help me please', it also sounded like she was shouting out for her son.
Travelers were seen looking on in horror as she was dragged away by the officers, one police officer stands between the crowd watching and the officers.
It is unclear why Leiva was at the airport and what triggered her arrest.
In a statement, ICE identified Leiva as being in the country illegally and said she was originally from El Salvador, having entered the US in 2007.
Leiva was targeted in what they described in a statement as a 'targeted enforcement operation' after being given a final order of removal in absentia in February of 2020.
The horrifying clip was captured by author Shannon Hale who shared it online and described what unfolded.
According to Hale, Leiva was dragged away just outside of the airport security line as onlookers.
She wrote: 'I hurried through the crowd and straight up to the commotion and asked an airport worker in uniform what was happening and why was no one helping her?

No, she's telling the truth, she has papers. If she read them they say, 'Final Order of Removal'.
See ya sister don't let the door hit you in the keyster.
Disressing? Maybe for the lawbreaker. And crime supporters. Which, by the way, all dems should be tagged with for mid terms. Introducing you PRO-CRIME candidate...fill in the blank. Sounds like a plan to me.
So she was distressed perhaps but am I supposed to be distressed because somebody started screaming when they were arrested?
😂. Sorta like the rehearsed “He’s touching me!!!!” cries you here at some rallies?
Well......... Bye
Some call it horrifying, some call it gratifying. 😏
I can have sympathy for human suffering and I even recognize that America has always had a love-hate relationship with criminals, just take a look at our movies.
But when someone is arrested we have no idea what they did or if there could be some mistake. She was screaming “I am a human being”.
According to the article she received a final order to get out of here years ago. People also lie a lot. So just because she started screaming means nothing in the final disposition of this matter.
But why would I expect any intelligent analysis in a rag alleged newspaper.
>> dragged away by plainclothes agents to the horror of eyewitnesses
I might have applauded! Further horrifying those eyewitnesses.
“Help! Help! I’m being repressed!”
5 YEARS AGO-—PLENTY OF TIME TO CORRECT
“I have my papers”
The “brown” version of
“I can’t breeve”
I have to confess to being neither “distressed” nor “horrified” by this footage
She asked an airport worker to help with her immigration papers? Maybe ICE can help with her seating location.
They are led by crowd baiting liberals:
After the clip surfaced the mayor of Salt Lake City Erin Mendenhall released a statement saying the incident had a ‘major impact’ on the community.
She added: ‘I am left wondering and aching from the fear and pain these types of operations keep striking in my heart and the hearts of so many of us.
‘I do not know the reason for this detainment nor details about the individual, as we seldom do when ICE acts, but I do know that this incident has had a major impact on our community.
‘There is so much about ICE operations that create a sense of fear, and we know we’ll likely never receive answers to our many questions that surround them.
‘What I do know is that nothing about this incident, like so many ICE operations, makes me feel safer as an American.’
Maybe she should tell the truth concerning actions by federal agents rather than just say they won’t tell her anything. That is a blatant lie.

MUCHO CALOR!
She was a fast machine, she kept her motor clean
She was the best damn mujer that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes, telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those Mexican thighs. 🎶
Taking more than her share, had me fighting for air
She told me to come, but I was already there
‘Cause the walls start shaking, the Earth was quaking
My mind was aching and we were making it. 🎵
And you shook me all night long
Yeah, you shook me all night long
Was she rolling a doobie?
