00:00And now to the Trump administration's continued and brutal crackdown on immigration where the

00:05arrest of a Colombian TikToker by ICE agents has sparked massive outrage. Tatiana Martinez,

00:11a Colombian TikToker living in Los Angeles, was arrested last Friday on what the agency said was

00:17a prior DUI conviction. Martinez, who allegedly entered the U.S. in 2022, was apprehended

00:25by federal authorities while streaming on TikTok from her vehicle. Footage shows Martinez

00:30seated in her car when federal agents approached, opened the door, and viciously yanked her from the

00:36car. She was heard screaming before being pinned to the ground with observers calling for medical

00:41assistance as she lay both helpless and motionless.

00:55Now, following the incident, reports suggested that Martinez was first taken to the hospital

01:10before being moved to a detention center. And now Martinez is a popular TikToker who primarily

01:16caters to a Spanish audience. With over 37,000 followers on TikTok, she's been making videos

01:22on ICE race that have become rampant in California since the Trump administration came back into

01:27office. Among her recent videos, she discussed the federal takeover of Washington, D.C. by Donald

01:33Trump. Her detainment has raised the ire of many as legions described the arrest as absolutely

01:38disgusting. One even asked how Americans could be comfortable with this, while another said he hoped

01:44karma would find its way to all ICE supporters. But not all users criticized ICE arrest. For the detractors

01:51of ICE tactics, there are those who support these abusive antics, as some have hailed the ICE

01:57arrest against so-called illegal aliens. In fact, there are those questioning how she was allowed

02:03to stay in America for this long, while others said this is what they voted for. Immigration

02:09authorities have carried out a series of raids and are facing heightened scrutiny amid allegations of

02:14misconduct. Moreover, the administration's widespread deportations efforts have drawn strong pushback

02:20from immigration rights advocates and sparked protests across the country. In Los Angeles last week,

02:26advocacy groups occupied MacArthur Park in a 24-hour community demonstration, pushing back

02:33on continued ICE raids. On foot and on wheels, large crowds rallied against family separations and

02:39communities living in fear under the administration's crackdown. Real lives, real families are being

02:46torn apart. Real people are being affected. People I know, people I see all over Los Angeles, people I see

02:53across the country. It makes me so mad. It hurts my heart. It hurts my humanity. And how can anybody turn

03:03away from this? And as another brutal arrest sparks more outrage, authorities have not yet issued a

03:09detailed statement on Martinez's case. For now, however, she remains in federal detention, while the Trump

03:16administration's immigration crackdown shows no signs of slowing down. First post now available in nine
