UPDATE: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is setting the record straight and dismantling the narrative pushed by Democrats.
According to DHS, the incident had nothing to do with any recent airport security deployments and was part of standard immigration enforcement:
“This arrest of ILLEGAL ALIENS occurred yesterday on March 22, 2026 — BEFORE ICE officers were deployed to airports to bolster TSA efforts. ICE officers arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Lopez at the San Francisco International Airport.
“These illegal aliens had a final removal order of removal from an immigration judge since 2019. While being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers. ICE is working as quickly as possible to repatriate the family unit to their home country of Guatemala.”
if she went peacefully there would not have been a public display of stupidity and her child would not have been traumatized.
