The sight of a badge that used to symbolise protection now signals a looming physical threat to many Americans. Just days after the nation watched in horror as an ICE officer shot Renee Nicole Good, a new video has ignited fresh waves of public fury, showing an agent seemingly threatening a woman before snatching her phone.
The clip, which has amassed 2.7 million views, captures a federal agent asking the woman filming him, 'Have you not learned from the past couple of days?' before violently taking her device. The encounter has sparked concern that some federal officers are terrorising civilians, believing they are above the law.
