'''Summary''': ICE agents forcibly entered an apartment in Elmhurst, Queens, with a gun visibly pointed at a woman and her children as they woke up inside the residence. The entry was captured in video and shared publicly by a witness.

== Full description ==

On November 13th 2024, at an early morning hour, ICE agents breached the door of an apartment in Elmhurst, Queens. The entry was captured on video by a resident and shows a bright, weapon-mounted light blasting through the doorway as at least three agents step into the room.

The footage shows a woman and her children waking up as agents enter, one of whom has a firearm raised. The agents advance into the room without visible markings indicating local law-enforcement support. The event resembles earlier forced entries documented in Chicago, with similar tactics and timing.

There is no available footage showing arrests, detentions, or vehicles outside the building.
