Immigration agents in plainclothes detrained a woman at San Francisco International Airport in front of her young daughter. The incident sparked controversy across the Bay Area after it was captured on video. The Department of Homeland Security identified the woman and her daughter as Angelina and Wendy Godinez-Lopez, who had an outstanding final order of removal since 2019. A crowd of people surrounded the woman being arrested and asked the officers to show their badge numbers, but they did not respond. The DHS stated that while being escorted to the international terminal for processing, Lopez-Jimenez attempted to flee and resisted law enforcement officers. SFO confirmed that federal officers were transporting two people on an outbound flight when the incident occurred. The airport was not involved in or notified in advance of this incident.
