The ice officer was disciplined after pushing the woman to the earth in New York

The Ministry of Internal Security has placed an immigration officer and customs application (ICE) on leave after filming a woman on the ground in an immigration court in New York.

He was relieved of his current functions while the DHS conducts a complete investigation into the incident, DHS deputy secretary, Tricia McLaughlin said on Friday.

“The driving of the officer in this video is unacceptable and under the men and women of the ice,” added McLaughlin. “Our ice forces are held to the highest professional standards.”

The video of the incident, which was widely shared on social networks on Thursday, shows that a crying woman approaches the ice officer in a corridor. He says “Adios” to her several times before he grabs her, pushes her back and then strikes her on the ground.

Another video drawn from a different angle has shown that the woman was confronted with the ice officer at the center of the investigation.

In the video, the woman can be heard shouting “take me, take me!” in Spanish.

The officer then grabs the woman and strengths it with several feet in the corridor and in a wall. He continues to push the woman and grows her on the ground.

The officer stands on the woman and says “Go!” In Spanish, before asking the neighboring officers to remove it from the building.

Another video shared on social networks has shown that the woman escorted from the courthouse.

The incident occurred after federal agents tried to take the husband of the woman in detention when she and her daughter clung to him, reported CBS News, the American partner of the BBC.

She told journalists she came from Ecuador on Thursday.

As part of the repression of the immigration of US President Donald Trump, ice agents entered the federal courthouses and owned immigrants awaiting hearings.

In the New York courthouses only, hundreds of immigrants have been arrested.

Dan Goldman, a member of the Democrating Congress, whose district includes the New York courthouse, said in a statement that the woman and her two children “fled my security office after being attacked.”

He also urged the DHS to take “appropriate disciplinary measures and to implement measures to prevent this from happening again”.
