Fifty hours of body cam footage from a single night in Nashville show ICE officers stopping Latinos, including Juanita Avila and Javier Ramirez, based on appearance or accent.
The footage, made public by Lighthouse Reports, documents ICE agents shoving individuals to the ground without allowing them to show identification, highlighting a pattern of overt racial profiling.
This conduct follows a Supreme Court decision last year that permitted ICE to stop people based on appearance, despite the Court banning race consideration in other contexts such as college admissions.
