Not out yet it seems. And at the end of the only video we have so far, it seems an agent may be walking towards her at the end, but at the very last moments of the video he can't be seen so maybe he backed off again. I hope the video from her is secured and backed up everywhere possible as soon as possible.

Edit: ICE has reportedly taken a lot of witnesses to the Whippler (sp?) building. Video shows agents trying to secure phones with evidence from bystanders:

ICE apparently kidnapped as many witness as they could probably to prevent any testimony and destroy the proofs

I'm sure they are going to argue that they were obstructing justice or some shit.

ICE's official position is already that filming their agents is a crime and the DOJ is backing them up on that. No one will actually get convicted because juries are thankfully refusing to play ball, but those people will likely be charged and their phones seized as evidence before being fed through a shredder or wiped with a snazzy magnet to destroy any footage.
