The driver is0:12Carolina [music] Molina, an American0:13counselor who works with immigration0:15lawyers and describes herself as a legal0:17citizen. She says she was delivering0:19business cards when agents [music]0:20surrounded her car. Five masked officers0:22were involved and two vehicles were used0:24to block her car in place. Her 2-minute0:2617-second dashcam records a clear0:28sequence. She drives past agents, turns0:31around, blocked by two vehicles boxing0:33her in. The agent levels his gun through0:35the driver window before the phone video0:37confrontation begins. The official0:39justification is that she weaponized her0:42vehicle and attempted to harm officers,0:43almost ran them over,0:45>> [music]0:45>> and deliberately tried to prevent0:46arrests, that the agents acted0:48accordingly with no fault, and that she0:50could face prosecution. Molina denies0:53weaponizing her vehicle or trying to hit0:54anyone.0:55>> [music]0:55>> A review of the 2-minute 17-second0:58dashcam found no evidence to support the1:00weaponized vehicle claim, and no1:02corroborating video has emerged to1:04support [music] it. Four other masked1:06officers surrounded the car along with1:07the agent who pointed the gun, with1:09[music] two blocking vehicles holding it1:10in place while she was threatened with1:12arrest inside. The phone video of the1:14gun pointed through the window spread to1:16millions of views on Instagram and was1:17published as a 174-second [music]1:20video on August 14th, pushing a street1:22stop into national view. After officers1:25left, one [music] agent appeared to1:26photograph her car before leaving. The1:28decisive unresolved evidence is the1:30missing official footage. A call has1:32been made for body camera [music] video1:34to be released.
