ICE agents in Spokane, Washington, smashed through a parked vehicle’s windows and arrested suspected gang members from Nicaragua last week.
The suspects in the vehicle screamed at ICE agents as they broke through the windows.
“This is illegal!” the suspects in the vehicle shouted as ICE agents shattered the windows.
“She’s pregnant! She’s pregnant!” another man shouted.
The federal agents were not deterred. The suspected gang members were dragged out of the vehicle and are currently being held at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington.

More on this story from The Spokesman-Review:
Kayla Somarriba, 25 years old and seven months pregnant, was in the vehicle when six unmarked cars surrounded them just a block from their home on Monday. Her husband, Jeison Ruiz-Rodriguez, 26, and brother-in-law, Cesar Ruiz-Rodriguez, 22, were on their way to a court hearing at the Spokane County Courthouse. The brothers had been earlier charged with threatening to kill a family member in December, according to court documents.
Those charges prompted the arrest captured on video, according to U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement.
As Somarriba rolled down her window to ask why they were being stopped Monday morning, she sensed the agents already knew who they were and where they were headed based on their answer.
“They immediately said Jeison and Cesar have to get out of the vehicle, so then I asked, ‘Why do they have to get out of the car?’ and they said, ‘It’s because we have a warrant,’ ” Somarriba recalled in Spanish. “I demanded they show me the warrant, and they wouldn’t show me anything.”
Great job by ICE, more criminals deported and a safer neighborhood.
