ICE Handcuffs U.S. Citizen Grandmother at Immigration Court, Sparking Outrage
A 71-year-old U.S. citizen, Barbara Stone, was arrested at a San Diego courthouse while observing ICE proceedings, sparking controversy after video of the incident circulated. Stone, who was held for eight hours, denies pushing an ICE agent, despite the agent’s claim. Her family reports she was traumatized and her phone was confiscated. The incident raises concerns about the impact on volunteer observers and the exercise of First Amendment rights, with no charges yet filed against Stone.
