A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.

Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention centre where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.

That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying immigration crackdown across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents make arrests amid protests against what local officials have likened to a "federal invasion."

Rahman says she was on her way to a routine appointment at the Traumatic Brain Injury Center when she encountered federal immigration agents at an intersection. Video appears to show agents shouting commands over a cacophony of whistles, car horns and screams from protesters.

Rep. Shri Thanedar (D-Mich.) is making a push to dismantle Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), calling the federal law enforcement agency “beyond reform.”

Thanedar plans to introduce the “Abolish ICE Act” this week, which his office said would dissolve the agency and end its enforcement authority. “We must reform ICE, but it looks at this stage, folks, that ICE is beyond reform,” he said during a news conference Wednesday. “ICE is totally out of control.”

He also said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should “face the consequences” and be impeached, arguing federal agencies were able to handle immigration enforcement effectively before ICE was established in 2003.

“We can do this without ICE,” Thanedar said. “We do not need the murders. We do not need this paramilitary organization’s members on our streets terrorizing U.S. citizens, terrorizing moms [and] terrorizing our children.”
