A mother was brutally assaulted by a mob of high school students during an anti-ICE protest at Issaquah High School in Washington state.
The incident was captured on video and widely shared on social media.
On Monday morning, hundreds of students from Issaquah High School poured out of classrooms to protest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The victim, who has chosen to remain anonymous due to fears of retaliation, described the ordeal as completely unprovoked.
The woman, who reportedly wishes to remain anonymous, said she was simply in the area when students suddenly surrounded her, bumping into her, cursing, and pulling her hair as the crowd closed in.
“I just got assaulted,” she can be heard saying in the footage.
Students, many holding signs with messages like “I HATE ICE,” swarm the woman in a frenzy of pushing and shoving. The mob’s aggression escalates quickly, with the woman struggling to break free amid cheers and chants from the crowd.
Journalist Jonathan Choe interviewed the mother in the video and reports it was “totally unprovoked and the cops just watched it all go down without intervening.”
