𝗖𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗜𝗔 𝗗𝗘𝗠𝗢𝗖𝗥𝗔𝗧𝗦 𝗪𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗙𝗨𝗟𝗟 𝗠𝗘𝗟𝗧𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗔𝗡 𝗜𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗧 𝗔𝗧 𝗦𝗙𝗢 — 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗙𝗔𝗖𝗧𝗦Video went viral Sunday night showing a woman being arrested at San Francisco International Airport. Within hours, California Democrats were holding press conferences, members of Congress were demanding answers, and social media was screaming that Trump's ICE was kidnapping American citizens from airports.Here are the facts.ICE arrested Angelina Lopez-Jimenez and Wendy Godinez-Lopez — both Guatemalan nationals with a final order of removal from an immigration judge dating back to 2019. While being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers.This arrest happened before ICE officers were even deployed to airports to assist TSA. It had nothing to do with the DHS shutdown or the airport security mission.SFO isn't even one of the airports where ICE is expected to assist TSA — it uses private contractors for screening and isn't affected by the shutdown impasse.None of that stopped the pile-on. State Senator Scott Wiener held a news conference outside the airport declaring ICE was "terrorizing a mother." Congressman Kevin Mullin demanded immediate answers about a "kidnapping." San Francisco's mayor called it "upsetting." Social media accounts with millions of followers described it as ICE rounding up American citizens.𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗰𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘇𝗲𝗻.

Get politicians to amplify before the facts come out. And then never correct the record once the truth is established.Seven years. That's how long this family had a removal order and remained in California. California's sanctuary policies made that possible. ICE finally enforced a court order — and elected officials called it a kidnapping.𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟭𝟵 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗹.
