Poinciana, Florida - A mother and daughter were abducted by US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from a hospital they were brought to after a major car crash in Florida.

A horrendous video, shared to social media, showed the moment that Grace Stephanie Calero Cabanilla and her 19-year-old daughter Giulianna Mía Carriel Calero were abducted and dragged out of hospital by ICE.

Last week, the pair had been in a serious car crash in central Florida. A second vehicle had struck the side of their car, causing it to flip more than four times and nearly kill them both.

"It was a very severe accident," Jonathan Bravo, Calero Cabanilla's cousin, told Newsweek. "The car was completely totaled."

Almost immediately after arriving at the hospital, however, a Polk County sheriff's deputy began questioning Calero Cabanilla about her immigration status.

"She was in bed with a neck brace, trying to receive the proper medical attention that she needs," Bravo explained.

Once the pair were ready to be discharged, ICE descended upon the hospital. The shocking video shows the mother and daughter embracing and crying in terror as the agents attempt to separate them.

Bravo said that Calero Cabanilla and her daughter, both citizens of Ecuador, were in the country legally. Calero Cabanilla has a pending asylum case and a work permit, while Carriel Calero has a visa that'll remain valid until 2030.

In a statement, a spokesperson for HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital (where they'd been treated) said that its "focus and priority always is taking care of every patient that comes through our emergency room doors regardless of immigration status."

Meanwhile, Polk County Sheriff's Office sought to justify the incident, a spokesperson claiming that Calero Cabanilla "is in the United States illegally from Ecuador after overstaying an expired visa by several years."
