4 men in plain clothes kidnap a woman—they claim to be ICE.
Woman's name is Angel Zhao.
She lives in Huntington Beach, California—originally Shanghai, China.
"Help me, please!" she cries.
"Someone call 911!"
"You can't do this!"
"Please, let me go!"
Please share so her family can know what happened and hopefully be able to locate her.
Incident occurred at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Every time your phone tells you where you are, it is using a mathematical model of the shape of the Earth.
A Black woman from rural Virginia spent decades building that model by hand, and almost nobody knew her name until she was in her eighties.
Gladys West. She grew up in a sharecropping family in Dinwiddie County and understood early that the alternatives were the tobacco fields or the factory. She finished top of her high school class, which came with a scholarship, and took it.
Her work was satellite geodesy: taking the raw data coming down from orbit and using it to compute, correction by correction, the true irregular shape of the Earth. Not a sphere. Not even a neat ellipsoid. A lumpy thing with gravitational highs and lows.
That model is the foundation the Global Positioning System sits on. You cannot locate a point on a surface until you know precisely what the surface is.
She did this for decades, largely unremarked, and retired in 1998.
She was recognised in 2018, when her sorority mentioned her biography at a function and someone realised what was in it.
The Air Force inducted her into its Space and Missile Pioneers Hall of Fame. She earned a PhD in her seventies.
@RossKneeDeep I remember when everyone was watching because that night they had Sammy David Jr as a gunfighter. Sammy practiced drawing and tricks leading up to the show and did all the gun handling himself. I think you can find him on YouTube showing his skills on Johnny Carson show.
@covie_93 Who is this they he's constantly talking about? I spoke with the They family who are my next door neighbors and deny saying such things. Mr. President Devoid of Facts!
@mmpadellan Entitled, Middle Class are just a different way of being racist. These terms were are used to exclude Black and POC from "Their" neighborhoods, churches, schools and stores. You can have Middle Classs money but not invited into Middle Class. What is entitled but White Privilege.
