Woman Randomly Stopped by ICE Agents in Cicero Walmart Parking Lot, Netizens Say She Was Racially Profiled: ‘They’re Just Taking People Off the Streets’

You honestly cannot predict when or where ICE might take an interest in raiding or questioning random people just going about their day. Because what do you mean they’re showing up in Walmart parking lots, asking shoppers about their nationality? Just outside a Walmart in Cicero, Illinois, two uniformed officers identified as ICE agents were filmed questioning a young woman about where she was from and what country she was born in – so quickly that she didn’t even have time to respond. Or maybe she knew better not to.

At 9:30am yesterday ICE agents descended on random civilians at a Walmart parking lot in Cicero. These shoppers were barraged with questions and at least two individuals were detained in this morning operation that made multiple stops. This raid was not focused on specific targets. It was not focused on locating individuals with a criminal background. As seen in this video, individuals were being stopped purely based off skin color. This is textbook racial profiling, happening daily in Chicago and its surrounding suburbs. #chicago #raid #iceraid #ice #protest #arrest #trump #ChicagoProtest #ICEProtestChicago #ImmigrationProtest #ChicagoNews #ImmigrationNews #ProtestCoverage #LiveUpdates #OnTheGround #ChicagoEvents #Photojournalism…
