The incident, which was witnessed by press and bystanders, saw upwards of 10 masked ICE agents surround the woman's vehicle as they repeatedly shout at her to 'move' before cutting her seatbelt and carrying her away.
The confrontation captured by bystanders sees the woman tell the agents that she 'has a doctor's appointment' to attend, as the group are seen to block the road and protesters line the street as horns sound.
Driving forward a few feet, one protester is then seen to defend the woman from the group of masked agents shouting at her to 'move', with the woman halting the vehicle to shout at officers after they turn their attention to the masked protester.
Moments later, one agent is seen to smash the passenger side window as ICE swarm the vehicle.
It comes just days after the fatal shooting of mother-of-three Renee Good by masked ICE agents in Minnesota.

With a second agent seen to open the rear driver's side car door, another two agents are captured attempting to open the driver's door before dragging the woman from the vehicle.
Hands handcuffed behind her back, the woman is then carried away by ICE agents as she shouts for help.
Seconds later, another agent is seen to jump in the driver's seat of her vehicle in an apparent attempt to drive it away from the scene.
It comes as hundreds of ICE agents were drafted into Minnesota amid rising tensions following 37-year-old Renee Good's fatal shooting last Wednesday.
The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent, identified as Jonathan Ross, fatally shot the mother in a moment captured and widely circulated on social media.
The mother's killing has led to peaceful protests around the globe highlighting what they see as ICE's excessive use of force.
Recent days have seen stars including Mark Ruffalo and Natasha Lyonne wearing 'ICE Out' pins at Sunday night's Golden Globes ceremony.
It comes as tensions continue to rise across the US, after Vice President JD Vance declared that ICE agents had "absolute immunity" from prosecutions.
“The precedent here is very simple. You have a federal law enforcement official engaging in federal law enforcement action – that’s a federal issue. That guy is protected by absolute immunity. He was doing his job,” Vance said.
“I’ve never seen anything like that. It would get tossed out by a judge.”
However, legal experts have begged to differ, with many highlighting that Vance was overstating the law around immunity for federal officials.
