In a bold and emotional statement, Felicia Wennberg, wife of San Jose Sharks forward Alex Wennberg, has taken a firm stance against the controversial ICE raids happening across the U.S. under President Donald Trump's directive. The Swedish-born mother and advocate expressed her frustration via Instagram after reposting a disturbing video showing a woman being detained outside an immigration court in San Antonio, Texas.
Felicia Wennberg voices outrage over viral video showing woman detained by ICE agents
Felicia Wennberg shared the footage—originally posted by the Instagram account ‘flowerinspanish’—with a powerful caption: “I am so freaking sick of this sh*t.”
According to Univision reports, the woman in the video was separated from her husband and six children after a judge dismissed her immigration case. The heartbreaking incident occurred on May 29 and has since sparked widespread outrage online, particularly among advocates for immigrant rights.
The ICE operations are part of a new nationwide crackdown authorized by Donald Trump targeting undocumented immigrants. In cities like Los Angeles, San Antonio, and others, raids have led to dozens of arrests in a single day. Reports also allege the use of flash-bang grenades and tear gas during enforcement actions—especially in areas like L.A.’s garment district, where protesters attempted to protect undocumented workers from federal agents.
This isn’t the first time Felicia has used her platform to speak on uncomfortable social issues. Back in 2023, she called out the BookTok community on TikTok for sexualizing her husband, Alex Wennberg. Initially amused by the attention, she later admitted that the fan culture crossed a line:
“There have been videos and comments made that have crossed the line of what it means to fancy someone and when it actually sounds pretty predatory and exploiting.”
