Skye, a disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran, had been participating in citizen observer efforts in Minneapolis to warn residents about nearby ICE activity. On Jan. 11, while following and observing ICE agents from her car, she and her friend Elizabeth were pulled over by agents in an unmarked vehicle. Video shows three ICE agents violently pulling the two women from the car, surrounding the vehicle, dragging Skye into the road and threatening to tase Elizabeth if she moved. When Skye told agents she was a Marine Corps veteran, one replied, "I don't care what you are," and agents repeatedly referred to her as "it," mocking her appearance and voice.
