From the comments……
his is again bad journalism because it’s not what happened.
Commissioners were discussing a rubber-stamp agreement, required by state law, for the county jail to hold inmates on behalf of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Those who came to the commission meeting thought that commissioners were instead discussing law enforcement cooperation agreements with ICE.
They believed that commissioners were trying to stop them from speaking on the matter.
It was made clear that there won’t be any speakers since the topic was deferred.
Ms. Ramos became disruptive, kept yelling and btw, wasn’t the only one arrested. Mr. Spicer was arrested as well. You cannot just go into a netting and start yelling and being disruptive especially about a different topic. The first amendment is not a carte blanche to disrupt anyone you like and any process at any time. It’s freedom of speech and not freedom of action.
BTW…….did any of you Bedwetters read the article ?
The right to free speech does not protect being disruptive or following the rules……
From the article in the OP.
Rodriguez told those who signed up to speak on the topic that they could — but this time only. If the matter ever returned for a vote, Rodriguez said there would be no further public comment. That’s confusing — none at all, ever? — and seems strangely punitive. Ramos was, understandably, seeking clarification. And that’s when she was dragged out.

I have yet to be able to find a full unedited video of the events leading up to this. I want to use the judgement of my own eyes and
Just like the people in Gaza being massacred…….no video!
“People cause a commotion until they have to be forcefully removed (presumably following many warnings) and then act like they’re being assaulted. Classic instigator”
This sums it up…….
She wanted to create a scene and the fake news organizations are only too happy to publicize the spectacle
You know who does have the right to free speach?

Free to speak and act like the piece of shit she is for exploiting the rape and murder of a young woman over 20 years ago to fuel her chronic TDS inspired hatred.
