A Salem woman, identified only as Maria, was injured when ICE agents racially profiled her, broke her car window, and pulled her out, leaving after discovering her passport. She suffered a concussion, torn rotator cuff, and bruised ribs, and remains terrified to leave her home. Her injuries mark the first extensive harm to a citizen in Oregon linked to such profiling cases. Union leader Johnny Earl condemns the violence, emphasizing that immigrant workers, like Maria, deserve dignity and respect. Advocates demand accountability and justice.

SSA claims its earlier statements were mostly accurate but can’t verify what stays on those servers. The episode spotlights privacy, legality and political pressure.
