WASHINGTON — On September 25, a violent altercation inside Manhattan’s 26 Federal Plaza thrust the Trump administration’s aggressive immigration enforcement tactics into the spotlight.
Video footage showed Monica Moreta-Galarza, an Ecuadorian woman seeking asylum with her family, being violently beaten by an ICE supervisor.
The incident, captured on video by multiple journalists, sparked immediate outrage—but within days, Mojica returned to duty, raising questions about accountability within federal immigration enforcement.
