Fox News host Laura Ingraham offered some succinct words of praise for an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer who was seen throwing a Democratic congressional candidate to the ground during a protest in the Chicago area: “Good work.”
She made her remarks on Friday while discussing demonstrations against ICE on “The Ingraham Angle.”
“A similar situation in Chicago today, where unhinged agitators worked to form a blockade — they don’t have actual jobs, but that is their job — in front of an ICE facility, including a Democrat congressional candidate who was thrown to the ground by an ICE agent,” she said. “Good work.”
As Ingraham spoke, footage played that showed a masked ICE agent grabbing Kat Abughazaleh, a 26-year-old former journalist now running for Congress, and hurling her to the pavement.
Abughazaleh and others were trying to block a van following ICE agents “kidnapping” a fellow protester, she previously told HuffPost.
She added that one ICE agent said to her, “Your First Amendment rights are on the sidewalk.”
