ICE detains U.S. citizen for 7 hours after she photographed agents in Oregon [View all]

An Oregon woman who is a U.S. citizen was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement for about seven hours last Monday after taking pictures of agents’ unmarked cars near a Gresham Chick-fil-A.

Berenice Garcia-Hernandez, 25, snapped into action after seeing a Facebook post alerting people to the agents’ presence near the fast-food chain. The person who sounded the social-media alarm said he had been too scared to get pictures of the agents’ license plates.

This time, they broke the car’s passenger side window, opened the door and got her out of the car, she said.

Eventually, they detained her, took her to the ICE facility in South Portland and told her she was in “so much trouble,” she said.

“In no way, shape or form did I ever become aggressive,” she said. “I complied the whole time. The only reason why they took a chance on following me, it’s because of the type of car that I was driving.”
