Other federal agents come up to assist.

There's ICE agents, there's also an FBI agent, and they arrest her.

One of the key aspects of what the government alleges is that she assaulted an FBI agent because the FBI agent has scrapes on her hands.

And we see that those scrapes on her hands, you know, it's something that happens in the process of putting handcuffs on Reed.

It's a serious federal charge, and it is being applied far more broadly now than it has been in recent history.

If you assault a police officer, if you rob... From the very start of Pam Bondi's tenure, you know, on her first day in office, she issues a flurry of memos, including one that encourages prosecutors to aggressively investigate.

any instances of violence against law enforcement or obstruction of law enforcement.

So there's this early on messaging to prosecutors.

And we also know that immigration agents were being given directives early on in immigration searches.

In Los Angeles, there's this

high-profile video of Gregory Bovino, who was then the head of Border Patrol, giving this direction to arrest anyone who touches you.

And so there's sort of this pugnacious strategy sort of at the ground level that's being encouraged.

Their ex-posts and the social media presence is really combative.

You know, they are often accompanied with a warning to the public, don't be like this person.

If you behave in this way, we will come for you.

And they would post people's pictures, their full names, really trying to make an example out of these people.

And then they say that Sidney Laurie Reed allegedly assaulted federal agents and that she was fighting for two alleged international gang members.

And they post her photo as well online, as well as her name, and that she's based in D.C.

It was hard not to draw parallels to the way that government officials were talking in the immediate aftermath of the killing of Rene Good.

And then after Alex Preddy was killed a few weeks later.
