SALT LAKE CITY — The woman caught on video being detained by ICE agents at Salt Lake City International Airport this week is legally allowed to be in the United States and has the paperwork to prove it, her attorney claimed.

"When you hear her yelling and screaming, I have papers, I'm here legally, she wasn't lying. She was actually saying exactly what she thought she was," said immigration attorney Adam Crayk.

Video of Marta Leiva being taken into custody in the airport's baggage claim area has gone viral, with ICE claiming the 39-year-old was undocumented from El Salvador and plans to deport her back to the country.
