Carolina Molina, a licensed counselor, was confronted by ICE agents in a Bailey's Crossroads parking lot after she shouted profanities at them, claiming they were following her. The agents accused her of trying to run them over, a claim disputed by Molina, who recorded the incident.1
In a video shared online, an ICE agent, dressed in a police vest and balaclava, pointed a gun at Molina while yelling, “You need to stop following us. This is your warning… You almost ran us over,” to which Molina responded, “I’m an American citizen. I have the right… I don’t feel like I should have a gun pointed to my head because you didn’t like being called a hoe.”
Molina was in the area to distribute business cards to immigration lawyers when she encountered the agents arresting two individuals. She maintained that she was not following the agents and never posed a threat to them. The Department of Homeland Security described her as an “anti-ICE agitator” and stated that she could face prosecution for her actions, which they characterized as attempting to harm officers by weaponizing her vehicle.
Molina speculated that the agents allowed her to leave without arrest after she mentioned having dashcam footage that contradicted their claims. The incident has raised questions about the conduct of ICE agents and the treatment of individuals during enforcement operations.
“Molina, a licensed counselor who conducts psychological evaluations for immigrants, said she was dropping off business cards at law offices when she saw ICE agents arresting two people. DHS claimed she was an 'anti-ICE agitator' who weaponized her vehicle, though dashcam footage contradicted that, and Rep. Don Beyer demanded answers and consequences.”
