A Chicago woman whose dramatic and embarrassing arrest at the hands of federal agents captured the world's attention has aggressively pushed back against the government's version of events - and has demanded millions for her trouble.

Deborah Brockman, a former WGN-TV producer, was tossed to the ground and detained by mask-wearing Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in the Windy City's Lincoln Square neighborhood on October 10.

On Tuesday, Brockman filed a Federal Torts Claims Act, typically a precursor to a lawsuit, against the US government over the stunning incident, which at one point left her backside exposed.

A spokesman for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told the Daily Mail on Wednesday that Brockman had thrown objects at a Border Patrol car being driven by agents during the immigration enforcement operation.

Brockman has accused the US government of assault and battery, false imprisonment, false arrest and intentional infliction of emotional distress, per the reported claim. She is seeking $10 million in damages.

Brockman's filing, viewed by the Daily Mail, accused federal agents of knowing that 'severe emotional distress was certain' when they arrested her as she walked to a bus stop that day around 8.35am.

She allegedly suffered 'headaches, pain, tenderness, bruises, abrasions, contusions, nausea [and] anxiety' as a result, the claim added.

'She was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer,' the DHS said.

Her lawyer will have to prove causation as per the 10 Mil. That is if her arrest is declared unlawful. There are more optimistic snowmen in hell.
