U.S. citizen detained by ICE questions vote for Trump: 'Just following Hispanic people'
A Virginia man said he was driving to work Wednesday with two other men near his home in Virginia when he was stopped by ICE agents with guns in their hands.
A naturalized Virginia resident said he's questioning his vote for President Donald Trump after agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detained him this week when they were looking for another person on a deportation order.
Jensy Machado said he's a U.S. citizen and provided NBC 4 Washington documentation of his legal status.
Machado was driving to work Wednesday with two other men when he was stopped by ICE agents near his home, he said.
Confused by the scene, Machado said he didn't know what was happening and why agents surrounded his pickup truck.
“They just got out of the car with the guns in their hands and say, 'turn off the car, give me the keys, open the window,'” Machado told Telemundo 44’s Rosbelis Quinoñez, who first reported his story. “Everything was really fast.”
According to Machado, the agents said the name of a man who had a deportation order, someone who had given Machado’s home address.
Machado said the experience shook his faith in Trump's immigration enforcement efforts.
“I was a Trump supporter,” he said. “I voted for Trump last election."
Machado said he thought the Trump administration would "just go against criminals, not every Hispanic looking, like, that they will assume that we are all illegals.”
“That’s what they’re doing, now,” Machado said. “They’re just following Hispanic people.”
