Becky Ringstrom, a Minnesota mother, was arrested by federal immigration agents after following them in her SUV. Agents boxed her in, pulled her from her vehicle, and cited her under a federal law criminalizing interference with law enforcement. The charge, under Title 18, Section 111, carries potential felony penalties.

This arrest exemplifies a broader Trump administration crackdown targeting ICE opponents, with Reuters finding at least 655 prosecutions under this statute since summer 2025, double the previous year's rate. Agents tracked protesters' movements in internal databases to identify patterns for potential charges.
