‘It’s harassment with badges’: Trump’s ICE officials manhandle an American woman despite her having proper documents

It’s no secret that the Trump administration hates immigrants. Since the beginning of his term as the President of the United States, Donald Trump has been launching repeated attacks on the immigrant population of his country in the name of ridding it of alleged “illegal aliens.” 

Since January this year, the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, under the orders of Donald Trump, has been conducting raids throughout the United States to identify “illegal aliens.” These raids, well, at least a majority of them are being undertaken in the most inhuman way possible. People who are suspected of being undocumented immigrants are being dragged out of their homes, workplaces, and cars and being literally assaulted in front of everyone, before they can verify their identity. It doesn’t make things any better when you come to see that the individuals on whom these atrocities are being committed are often picked based on external features. Therefore, ICE officers are far more likely to pull up a black, brown, or asian looking individual out on the road for questioning than they are to pull up a white person for the same, thereby making way for an America where racism is normal.
