White Drivers Got a Warning. Latino Drivers Got Detained.

Many Latinos have begun carrying ID with them at all times. But as Juanita Avila and Javier Ramirez will tell you, sometimes it doesn’t matter. ICE stopped them — seemingly on the basis of their skin color — and shoved them to the ground without offering them a chance to show ID.
Times Opinion gained access to a rare glimpse of ICE on patrol, reviewing 50 hours of body camera footage from a single night in Nashville. An investigation led by Lighthouse Reports first made the footage public.
The footage reveals a pattern of overt racial profiling that’s been approved by an unusual source: the Supreme Court. The court has effectively banned the consideration of race in college admissions and many other parts of American life, but last year it gave ICE a green light to stop people based on their appearance or accent. This video shows the alarming results.
