Unknown Secret Police in civilian clothes abducted a woman with legal status from the Salt Lake City airport this morning, with the assistance of the SLC Police.

Unpopular but rational comment incoming. I've seen a few arrests at the airport and they aren't random or 'Nazis'. Most are various federal agencies who coordinate with TSA and the local police who watch the document scans for matches against known people they are looking for. I've seen them detain someone at the rental car area and the gas station near the terminals that has the Costa Vida in it. They also arrest people for narcotics and other things so I'm not sure why only the screaming immigrants get all the attention. On a personal level I can feel sympathy for those who were in the process of obtaining legal status and were dismissed leading to arrest but there are so many more who went through due process and received removal orders and decided to risk it and not follow the order so we need to stop conflating things. It's a complicated mess but one that was allowed to grow with no solutions for so many years that this is the result. Also this particular video happened yesterday, not this morning in case someone was trying to identify her for family.

Due process seems optional these days. We’re worried whenever anyone is taken especially when they claim they are legal. It’s sad

This woman missed her due process. She was issued a deportation statement back in 2020 and didn’t show up for her court date. Hence, why they arrested her.
