Dramatic Video Shows ICE Agents Violently Arresting Mother Driving Her Daughter to School

HeadlineOct 31, 2025

In more immigration news, new video shows federal agents in Rockingham County, Virginia, violently arresting a mother driving her daughter to school, after she failed to recite her Social Security number during an immigration stop. Video of the incident shows the 16-year-old daughter of Jaykie Funez-Andrade crying out as the agents tackle her mother to the ground, press her face-down into the pavement and handcuff her. Before the violent arrest, Funez-Andrade reportedly showed agents her work permit, Social Security card, driver’s license and car registration, but they arrested her anyway. She was taken to the Harrisonburg Regional Jail. Her daughter said, “I want this video out there because I want my mother home.”
