According to Figueroa, after getting arrested, she was transported to multiple undisclosed locations, and repeatedly denied contact with family or legal counsel.
this seems screwed up.
“I was in shock and terrified. The video evidence is clear: Agents crashed into me. I was not involved in any protest or related activity, and I intend to seek justice for how I was treated,” Figueroa told the Tribune.
this seems like it was prepared by a lawyer.

Right, this is the problem for me: I don't know how to much to believe this story. On the one hand, I fully believe that police and ICE abuse their authority and the nature of our system has become such that they pretty much get away with it. On the other hand, we live in this super litigious society where everybody sues everyone else for everything. I could totally see a situation where ICE agents were driving kind of recklessly (in hot pursuit of criminals, I'm sure) and this woman was sipping her coffee and maybe looking at her phone while driving and not paying attention and collision. The world is messy.
