A video authentically showed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detaining a woman and child at San Francisco International Airport in California on March 22, 2026.<\/p>\n

Rating: True<\/p>\n

Context:<\/p>\n

The video was authentic and captured at San Francisco International Airport on March 22, 2026. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed ICE officers arrested two people at the airport on that date and shared a video showing a different angle of the same encounter. We could not independently confirm claims that the woman and girl in the footage were mother and daughter; DHS described them as being part of a “family unit” but did not specify their exact relationship.<\/p>\n

On March 22, 2026, a <\/span>video<\/span> (<\/span>archived<\/span>) began circulating online that claimed to show U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents detaining a woman and child at San Francisco International Airport in California.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A TikTok user who appeared to have recorded the footage wrote in the caption that the incident took place on March 22 at Gate E2 at San Francisco International Airport.

Many <\/span>social media<\/span> users<\/span> also claimed the woman and child in the video were mother and daughter.
