YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Jacelynn Guzman, a 23-year-old U.S. citizen, was walking home from the corner store in her Louisiana of Marrero, a suburb of New Orleans, when she was approached by two unmarked vehicles that were filled with masked ICE agents. Immediately upon seeing them, Guzman says she identified herself as a U.S. citizen, but the agents continued to chase her back to her home.

In a statement on the incident, the Department of Homeland Security said the agents were conducting a "targeted immigration enforcement operation" and that Guzman matched the description of the target. The department went on to write, "Agents immediately stopped upon reaching the property, determined the individual in question was not the target, and all agents departed the area.”
