An Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer has been “relieved of current duties” after widely shared videos on social media show him tackling a crying woman to the ground inside the halls of an immigration courthouse in downtown Manhattan in front of her two young children.
Videos taken Thursday inside 26 Federal Plaza, headquarters for several federal law enforcement agencies in New York City, show a woman and a young girl clinging to her husband and pleading for his release while he is being hauled away by masked officers.
