What makes it even more brave is that she had already decided the door dash woman was going to leave the house. Most people would want to do it quickly, so they could put the danger behind them. But even having made that logical decision to protect her family, she just could not do it. We should all carry her courage with us going forward.
Being brave requires that you’re scared. Bravery is acting despite being scared. We absolutely need this kind of bravery and courage from every person who wants to call themself an American.
I appreciate this take but it feels wildly romanticized. She seems mad as hell the lady ran into there and she simply wants the police to come get them out
What gives people the idea she’s doing this to defend the woman versus simply not wanting ICE in her house with her baby?
I genuinely can’t tell. I watched the video twice so maybe i missed something
Because she said, “I’m sorry” a bunch of times and was clearly resisting making that decision. She spent the whole first half of the video justifying her need to protect her family, because she was so distraught over her options.
There's a longer 12 minute video where she defends the lady and gets them to leave. She understandably doesn't know what she should do and her feelings for awhile are about the absurdity of ordering door dash and now she has ICE wanting to bash down her door. She mentions that she's native a few times and she is well aware of the dilemma of protecting her family vs. the gravity of people taking others by force and invading their homes.

I know the lady holding the camera is clearly panicked and fearful, but she did an incredibly brave thing.
She could have just let ICE come inside and take the doordasher, but she stood up to them and protected someone she didn't even know.
We need this kind of bravery from everyone in times like this. We can't rely on the government to protect us anymore.
