A teacher at a Chicago day care center was violently dragged out and then arrested by federal immigration officers, several local, state and federal officials said at a press conference. Rep. Mike Quigley, D.-Ill., said that Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents followed a teacher into the facility on Wednesday morning without a warrant and "abducted her in front of her students." In a video showing the arrest at Rayito de Sol's Spanish-language immersion day care, a woman can be heard telling agents in Spanish that she has "papers." Quigley later told reporters the detained teacher had a work permit. "No parent should ever have to explain to their child while why their teacher was dragged away by armed officers, and no teacher should fear that showing up to work to care for and educate kids could result in their arrest," he said. The Department of Homeland Security on Wednesday named the detained woman as Diana Patricia Santillana Galeano, saying she was Colombian. DHS said in a press release that her work authorization "does NOT confer any type of legal status to be in the U.S." The action by federal immigration agents on Wednesday coincided with a hearing in which a federal judge heard arguments about the use of force by immigration agents in the Chicago area. Following that hearing, U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis extended restrictions she had previously placed on federal immigration agents' use of force during immigration arrests and protests in the Chicago area. During the hearing on Thursday, Judge Ellis largely sided with attorneys representing journalists and demonstrators who say they've been harmed by ICE/CBP personnel during lawful protests. "I don't find defendant's version of events credible," Judge Ellis said, adding that the CBP and ICE's conduct "shows no sign of stopping." "It is difficult to see how an injunction requiring the government to follow the Constitution could possibly be harmful," she said. In response to the judge's ruling, DHS said in a statement: "This injunction is an extreme act by an activist judge that risks the lives and livelihoods of law enforcement officers. Rioters, gangbangers, and terrorists have opened fire on our federal law enforcement officers, thrown rocks, bottles, and fireworks at them, slashed the tires of their vehicles, rammed them, ambushed them, and they have destroyed multiple law enforcement vehicles. Despite these real dangers, our law enforcement shows incredible restraint in exhausting all options before force is escalated. DHS law enforcement will continue to enforce the laws of our nation, just as they do every day across the country. We shall appeal." Regarding the incident at the day care, Rep. Delia Ramirez, D.-Ill., said on Wednesday that she rushed over to the day care as soon as she heard about the incident and spoke to teachers, including one who is pregnant. A teacher also had to hide with a child during the incident, she said. "This is the force called Department of Homeland Security under Secretary Kristi Noem, an agency of terror," she said. "What happened today is despicable, it's unconscionable, it's unacceptable." The DHS also accused Galeano of paying for smugglers to bring her 17-year-old and 16-year-old children into U.S. via the southern border, adding that "facilitating human smuggling is a crime." DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said ICE did not target the day care and were instead conducting a "targeted traffic stop" of an undocumented woman from Colombia. "Officers attempted to pull over this vehicle, which was registered to a female illegal alien, with sirens and emergency lights, but the male driver refused to pull the vehicle over," she said in a statement. "Law enforcement pursued the vehicle before the assailant sped into a shopping plaza where he and the female passenger fled the vehicle. They ran into a day care and attempted to barricade themselves inside the day care -- recklessly endangering the children inside" She added, "The illegal alien female was arrested inside a vestibule, not in the school. Upon arrest, she lied about her identity. The vehicle is registered in her name, though she claims that she didn't know the man who was driving her car and just picked him up from a bus stop. Facts including criminality and information on the male assailant are forthcoming and we will update the public with more information as soon as it becomes available." But Ramirez pushed back on McLaughlin's claims. "They didn't just walk in chasing one person. They went into multiple rooms, asking and looking for teachers while children were present," the congresswoman said. "This is an agency that has gone rogue and it's an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything." Maria Guzman, a parent of a child at the facility, said DHS' actions amount to "domestic terrorism." "It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children's rights," she said. "It is a violation of these teachers rights, who have a right to work in this country and care for our most vulnerable kids. What they are doing is terrorizing our community, terrorizing our culture, these children who have pride in their culture." ABC News' Luke Barr contributed to this report.
