A woman in Kansas City live-streamed Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials forcibly arresting her partner in front of their two small children
Millan-Vazquez, who was deported in 2011 for traffic violations but later returned to the United States, was allowed to say goodbye to Hoyt, but when he asked to say goodbye to his child, the officer said no. “Right now we’re being extremely nice to you,” the officer said, “but what you just put us through, what we had to go through, you’re lucky I’m letting you talk to her right now.
Kansas City was not one of the cities targeted in Operation Border Resolve, a series of raids President Trump spent the better part of a month boasting about to his supporters. That effort yielded 35 arrests, but ICE has taken more than 900 people into custody since the beginning of May, according to Director Matthew Albence. Most of those were apprehended through a two-month effort called Operation Cross Check.
After video of Millan-Vazquez’s arrest surfaced earlier this week, Reps. Emmanuel Cleaver and Sharice Davids tweeted that they planned to investigate the issue. Both of their districts include parts of Kansas City. “This video is very concerning as to the traumatization of children and the reasonable use of force,” Cleaver wrote the night of the incident. “I have already reached out to all parties to better understand what is going on.” Davids responded the following afternoon.
Our office has been made aware of this incident, and I share Representative Cleaver's deep concern over what was shown in this video. I'm in touch with his office and local authorities to assess the situation.
