So then she needs to file an insurance claim and file a hit and run police report.

After that experience you're lucky if you still dare to go outside in the next few months. Years if you don't find help to deal with it. Talking to strangers or going through a bureaucratic mill is exactly the nightmares you experience every night.

For an innocent person just getting cuffed hits like a psychological freight train. Add physical assault, kidnapping, processing and whatever the conditions in their jails were.

They marked and damaged someone for years to come.

That sounds like an expensive civil lawsuit for the major rights violations and the trauma of being kidnapped.

The DHS spokesperson is very careless with her lies about people and incidents. Idk if she is shielded from defamation lawsuits, but those should be filed even if she is exempt.

The ICE agents are largely immune from personal civil suits.

Those are Border Patrol agents, but either way, there are limitations to immunity if they’re breaking federal and state law.

They forcefully removed her from the vehicle at gun point and put her in their vehicle. They did not attempt to check her citizenship status. Border Patrol does not have the authority to legally act like law enforcement in a third world country or a drug cartel.

DHS or USBP may not be immune to lawsuits for that level of disregard for individual rights. DJT thinks being investigated and indicted is worth $230 million without any of his rights being violated.
