Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez was filming inside her Tesla when she was detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in Los Angeles on Friday.
She shrieked ‘no, no, no’ repeatedly and cried ‘wait, wait,’ in Spanish as agents ordered her out of the car.
‘On August 15, ICE arrested Leidy Tatiana Mafla-Martinez, a criminal illegal alien from Colombia who was convicted for driving under the influence in Los Angeles,’ Assistant DHS Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
‘This criminal illegal alien entered the country in 2022 and was RELEASED by the Biden administration.’
Other footage from the arrest showed officers had to lift Martinez out of her electric vehicle and arrest her as she writhed on the ground.
‘During her arrest, Martinez claimed to experience shortness of breath. She was given proper medical treatment and will be held in ICE custody pending removal proceedings,’ McLaughlin said.
Onlookers tried to interfere with the arrest, with one person towing away a government vehicle, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

‘During the arrest, an individual unlawfully towed a government police vehicle. He mocked and videotaped ICE officers chasing after him,’ McLaughlin said.
‘Secretary Noem has been clear: Anyone who seeks to impede law enforcement will be found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.’
Martinez, who has over 40,000 followers on TikTok, grew her following while posting videos about immigration raids and anti-ICE protests around California.
The day before Martinez’s arrest, a man fleeing from an ICE raid at a Los Angeles County Home Depot was killed after he fled into a busy highway.
Police in Monrovia were alerted about an ICE raid at the Home Depot on Mountain Avenue at around 9.45am on Thursday, and just five minutes later, they received a call about a man getting struck by a vehicle on the 210 Freeway,
The man had jumped a concrete wall shortly after the agents arrived at the scene, fled on foot and entered the freeway, crossing Evergreen Avenue and running onto eastbound lanes, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Motorist Vincent Enriquez said he saw the unidentified man soon after he was struck by an oncoming vehicle, and at the time, he was still alive and ‘still moving.’
But disturbing footage from the scene that was shared online showed a man standing in the road, hitchhiking, as another person could be seen lying on the ground motionless.

The victim was then sent to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Meanwhile, 13 people were detained from the raid at the Home Depot, Palmira Figueroa, the director of communications for National Day Laborer Organizing Network, told the LA Times.
One of the day laborers who visits the store every day in search of work said the morning started like any other – that is until he heard people start to yell ‘La migra, corre!’ or ‘Immigration, run!’
The laborer, who declined to give his name for security reasons, started to record the situation on his phone.
He was able to get away, he said, but ‘felt powerless’ that he could not help his friends.
‘It feels horrible – I couldn’t do anything for them other than record what was happening,’ the migrant said….CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
