A video posted online shows an Oregon-based OB-GYN confronting Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents inside a Queens airport terminal, drawing attention to an exchange that unfolded in a public setting and quickly circulated on social media.
Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, who has more than 2.8 million followers on a social media platform, approached two ICE officers wearing vests in the terminal.
According to the video she shared Thursday, Lincoln initially appeared to thank the agents before shifting tone and delivering a series of remarks directed at them.
“Excuse me,” Lincoln said as she approached the officers.

One of the agents responded, “Yes ma’am,” according to the video.
Lincoln then said, “I just wanna say thank you guys for being here — because I know when I wake up in the morning, I’ll never be racist pigs like you.”
She continued, “No matter how bad I am, I’ll never be like you.”
“So good job. I hope your moms are real proud of you,” she added.
