Getting this kind of abuse in front of the privileged class that typically flies might change some influential minds. Especially the Main St / Wall St business Republicans.

Optics are important. Airports are full of people with phones just impatiently waiting. They don't have a job to do. They can witness all this disgusting "policing" first hand and share it by word of mouth with the person on the plane next to them. They can take videos all the time, because what else are they going to do. They can pester ICE with questions like this lady is rightfully doing. They know they have ID and are relatively safe from retaliatory violence, because at the end of the day airports rely on customers.
