Video posted to Facebook appears to show a woman plow through anti-ICE protesters Saturday in New Jersey, injuring three, and is now facing charges, according to police.
The videos shows a gray SUV slowly approach a crowd of protesters marching against ICE raids when a one protester approaches the driver. The woman behind the wheel, Linda Roglen, then begins to proceed and the protester falls to the ground while others gather around to stop the car. Roglen then rolls up her window and drive through the crowd and leaves the scene. (RELATED: Los Angeles ICE Riots Cost City $20 Million — And Counting)
Roglen has been charged with careless driving, reckless driving, leaving the scene of an accident and four counts of assault with a car resulting in bodily injury, according to the New York Post. Several protesters suffered injuries and one was taken to the hospital, News 12 reported.
The protest was organized by a group called “United Against Fear,” according to the New York Post. Several witnesses described the scene, with one man saying “I don’t know what they said, but they just say something to each other and he spits in her face.” “I was scared though, honestly, like for those people. Because you never know, man. Something like that, you could die. That’s scary,” the man added.
Another witness said he heard Roglen say “I love ICE,” ABC reported.
It is unclear if the man who allegedly spit on Roglen will face charges.
Many drivers have been recorded driving through protesters who blocks public highways and roads, most recently during the “No Kings” protests that erupted in Los Angeles last month. One woman has hit by a driver during one such protest, falling onto the hood of the vehicle, falling off, then getting run over, ABC reported.
