I heard about ICE, you know, and this immigration thing.
But I feel like you could look at me and tell that I'm not Hispanic.
And with me being a US citizen, I felt that I was fine.
I didn't feel that I had anything to worry about.
I felt sorry for a lot of the people who were getting scooped up, because I was under the impression that they were Latino or something like that, right?
But you could look at me and see that I'm black.
I don't care if you were black, if you were dark-skinned, light-skinned, they were just scooping people up, period.
Do you think they were doing that to people they think didn't have the resources to fight back?
That I couldn't say.
Wow.
That I couldn't say.
But I never thought for one moment that what happened could have happened to me.
Because I'm like, okay, I don't fit what they're looking for.
So why would I have anything to worry?
No, I had the backpack.
With you in the truck?
Well, they took the backpack and they took my phone because I wanted to record what was going on when they first grabbed me.
And that's when they took my phone.
When, before they let us go, they were holding up like your phone and stuff and asking anybody, is this, whose phone is this?
Whose phone is this?
