Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it “determined the individual in question was not the target.”

Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video this week following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”

Jacelynn Guzman, 23, was walking home Thursday from a corner store in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, when a silver, unmarked SUV pulled up next to her and two masked agents exited, she said.

“I was walking and the first car pulled up on the side of me and I thought it was an Uber,” she said. “They said, ‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’ That’s all I heard before I blasted off,” Guzman told NBC News on Saturday.

Guzman said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.

    If you watch the whole video one of the ICE kidnappers was hispanic. The step dad (?) of the girl calls him out. Wild.

      About 30% of all people, regardless of descent, are Authoritarians. They’ll gladly sign up to hurt others when told to and assume they’ll be rewarded by the dictator for their loyalty. Even when the whole basis of the cruelty is on race, there’s always Quislings lining up to be oppressors assuming they won’t be on the firing line later when the conservatives run out of other outsiders to kill off.

      White Fascism is a death cult. Anyone participating is first killing everyone around them, and then themselves. They are not to be trusted.
