"I think they were hearing things they hadn't heard before," said attorney Trisha Pohland. Pohland says her client, Georgia "Wynnie" Savageford, spoke to investigators with the FBI, DOJ and DHS on Wednesday. Savageford didn't speak to KARE11 on Thursday, but back in March, she spoke at a news conference , describing how she was arrested by ICE agents while standing near Pretti. "After requesting to see a warrant, which was ignored, an agent approached me and pushed me twice, which prompted me to fall," Savageford said in March.
