Jenna entered a restaurant south of the Twin Cities after learning ICE was in the parking lot. When agents opened the door, one of them grabbed her and threw her to the ground. She hit her knee, elbow, and head. Jenna was taken to the Whipple Federal Building where she was held for three hours. She was only provided a small bandage, band-aids, and a frozen sandwich to ice her knee. Two days later, she was diagnosed with post-concussion syndrome, a contusion on her elbow, and a sprain of her right knee.
