Video Shows ICE Agents Breaking Into Home of Pennsylvania Family

HeadlineFeb 12, 2026

In Pennsylvania, masked federal agents forced their way into a home in Eagleville on Monday, terrorizing a family sleeping inside that included two children, aged 8 and 13. Lupe López, who lives at the home, recorded video as the agents battered down her door.

Masked agent: “Get your hands up!”

Lupe López: “Stop! Stop it! Stop it! No! Stop! Stop it! Stop! There’s little kids! Stop it! Get out of here! Get out! What the [bleep] is your problem? Get out of here!”

The video shows Lopéz was held at gunpoint as the masked agents searched for her 26-year-old cousin, a Mexican national with an expired visa. Lopéz appealed to the agents to leave her home.

Lupe López: “Why do you do this? Why do you break families apart? Why? You don’t have kids? You don’t have a family? Why do you do this? Do you think this is OK? I know you feel something.”
