Correction: An earlier version of this article mischaracterized the activities of ICE agents in the video. The article has been updated.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Omar&#8217;s post remained as-is, however, and is still up as of Thursday morning.<\/p>\n<p>Fox News Digital reached out to her congressional office and her campaign to ask for comment and whether she planned on amending the post, but no response was given.<\/p>\n<p>A video obtained by Telemundo Nueva Inglaterra shows the girl sitting beside a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/us\/immigration\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><u> law enforcement SUV<\/u><\/a>, holding a bottle, while surrounded by several male officers outside her home in Leominster last Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>NBC reported that the father, Edwards Hip Mejia, told his wife he believed he was being followed and drove home. Once there, he allegedly ran toward the parking lot, but agents &#8220;grabbed&#8221; their daughter, the wife told Telemundo.<\/p>\n<p>The girl\u2019s mother can be heard telling officers her daughter is on the spectrum before demanding they return her child.<\/p>\n<p>DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin responded to Omar on X, calling the progressive&#8217;s words &#8220;cruel&#8221; instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/dallas-ice-facility-shooting-shooter-down\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><u>3 PEOPLE SHOT AT DALLAS ICE FACILITY, SHOOTER DEAD, AGENCY CONFIRMS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;ICE agents NEVER used a 5-year-old girl as \u2018bait.\u2019 The criminal illegal alien target \u2014with previous arrests for domestic abuse and strangulation, among other charges\u2014ABANDONED his own child in a car,&#8221; McLaughlin wrote.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The target, Edwards Hip Mejia, ignored law enforcement emergency lights to pull over and drove back to his house.
