Nobody even knew who. 179 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 6: That was YEA. 180 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 4: When a couple of the other people waiting for the 181 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 4: bus started to run, so did Mauricio. The man chasing 182 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 4: Mauricio tripped them and he fell on his knee. Mauricia 183 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: says it wasn't clear who was who. None of the 184 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: men showed him a badge, nobody said anything. All Malisia 185 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 4: heard was some of the plain clothes men speaking pretty 186 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 4: good Spanish, no accent. He says. The men took them 187 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 4: in based only on the way they looked. They can 188 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 4: tell we have dark skin and that were shorter. He says, who. 189 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 11: Wastos? 190 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 4: I saw this as racist, Mauricio tells us, but. 191 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 2: So there he was handcuffed, shackles around his ankles. Agents 192 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 2: then take his phone away. 193 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 4: Meanwhile, at home, his mother d starts to worry. She 194 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,080 Speaker 4: hasn't heard from her son since the last message two 195 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: hours ago, and he always responded to her messages right away. 196 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 10: Mikhom three hours four hours and according to what's app, 197 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 10: her son hadn't even seen her messages. Intos's thoughts spiral. 198 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 2: Had her son been robbed? Was he hurt? Was in 199 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 2: the hospital? 200 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 10: Hospitales Andyaria aa l Masalo. 201 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 4: D didn't sleep that night and toss and she reached 202 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: out to a neighbor who tried to file a missing 203 00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,319 Speaker 4: person's report with the police, but the cops told them 204 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 4: it was too soon. There was no trace of Mauricio 205 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 4: even in immigration detention records. 206 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:08,560 Speaker 2: Mauricio was first taken to a detention camp an hour 207 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: south of Los Angeles. Then at five am that next morning, 208 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 2: he was put on a plane. He was shackled, He 209 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:25,719 Speaker 2: had absolutely no idea where he was going. They were 210 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: taken to an ice tent camp. Mauricio's knee was causing 211 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,439 Speaker 2: him a lot of pain, making it almost impossible for 212 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:34,079 Speaker 2: him to walk. 213 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 4: Three days past since Mauricio had been levantado kidnapped, a 214 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 4: word that in Mexico has a heavy significance. This is 215 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:48,959 Speaker 4: the term used for cartel related kidnappings or state sanctioned disappearances. 216 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: And Mauricio knows this. It's precisely why he's using that term. 217 00:12:53,920 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 11: Espress and I was picked up by people in playing clothes, 218 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 11: he tells us, no uniforms, no badges, no arrest order. 219 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:07,040 Speaker 10: It was almost. 220 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 2: It was now day five. He still hadn't been allowed 221 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,439 Speaker 2: to make, not even one phone call. His mother de 222 00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 2: still in anguish, with no idea, no trace of her 223 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 2: son anywhere. Yes, finally, Mauricio says, Immigration agents at the 224 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 2: El Paso detention facility tell him and the other men 225 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 2: in the holding cell that they can make one phone call, 226 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 2: but only after they sign a document that says that 227 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 2: they're volunteerily deporting themselves. Legal experts have called this conditioning 228 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: of phone access blatantly illegal, saying the government is essentially 229 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 2: pressuring people in detention to give up their rights to 230 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 2: do process, wave their opportunity for an asylum hearing or 231 00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 2: a date in front of an immigration judge, just to 232 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: get a call. Aurisio showed us the document he was 233 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 2: told to sign. It's in English and in Spanish, and 234 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,559 Speaker 2: Mauricio checked the box that said. 235 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 4: I denounced my right to a hearing in an immigration 236 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 4: court and I wish to go back to my country 237 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 4: as soon as my departure is available. 238 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 2: Government officials are essentially dangling a carrot of a phone call. 239 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: They warned detainees that even if they try to fight 240 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: their deportation, they could be held in terrible conditions for 241 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: months and months. 242 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,680 Speaker 4: So on June tenth, five days after he was taken, 243 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 4: Mauricio signed the form, and so did most of the 244 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 4: other men who were detained with him. That day, he 245 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 4: was released in Quads and it was then he got 246 00:14:53,880 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 4: his phone back. He turned it on to many miss 247 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 4: calls and messages. Then he called his mom d answered. 248 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 10: The phone, Mamma gentle Stovian. 249 00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 4: She got to hear her son's voice telling her that 250 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: he was okay and not to worry. 251 00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 11: I mean, what is mom in Mexico from. 252 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 4: That's when his mom broke down and started crying. She 253 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: was relieved to know that at least he was okay. 254 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 2: The Olivia coming up after the break, we meet the 255 00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 2: man behind this new reign of terror if. 256 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 8: They crossed the border illegally, and then they're coming with us. 257 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 2: And later we'll go to the presidential Palace in Mexico 258 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: to ask President Claudia Shamebaum about Mexico's role in all 259 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: of this. Stay with us at the Yes, Welcome back 260 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: to Latino, USA. I'm Maria no Josa. 261 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 4: And am fernand Chari. Before the break, we heard how 262 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 4: these seemingly random ICE rates are sowing uncertainty and immigrants 263 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 4: and their families. 264 00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 2: The way ICE and Border Patrol have been conducting these 265 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: detentions shows that they're working from a new playbook, one 266 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 2: that relies on the thinnest pretext for taking people. And 267 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,280 Speaker 2: then on September eighth this year, the Supreme Court essentially 268 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 2: made that legal officers can now stop people based on quote, 269 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 2: the totality of circumstances, things like who you are, where 270 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: you are, the language that you speak, even the job 271 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,439 Speaker 2: site where you work. Civil rights lawyers say all of 272 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 2: this adds up to legalized racial profiling. 273 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,159 Speaker 12: And this ruling basically turned the actions of a rogue 274 00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 12: border patrol chief into policy. Gregory Bavino had previously used 275 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 12: Kern County, California, as a test run, and the Supreme 276 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 12: Court gave him a green light to keep it going. 277 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: This is Setyo Almost.

A bunch of measures meant 291 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 12: to push back against Trump's immigration agenda. This legislation is 292 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 12: like banning the mass that immigration agents wore around LA 293 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 12: push back, I mean the public season Newsom and lawmakers 294 00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 12: in California are standing up to Trump. But in this 295 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 12: case it's not a power they have. Federal officials came 296 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,920 Speaker 12: out right away and said they'll just ignore the mass law. 297 00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 2: It's only nine months in under President Trump. Can you 298 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 2: tell us what you're expecting and what are you preparing 299 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 2: to do for what might becoming?

He's taken the Trump administration to court more 307 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 12: than just about any other governor, and he's winning the 308 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 12: case challenging Trump's deployment of the California National Guard to 309 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 12: the streets of Los Angeles. 310 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: Good to see you see, how are you? 311 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:02,920 Speaker 4: We asked Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass about this when 312 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 4: we sat down to speak with her. 313 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 7: No we absolutely are limited.

You have 323 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 7: entire sectors of our economy that have been crippled because 324 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,159 Speaker 7: they are dependent on immigrant labor. 325 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: Although immigration enforcement. 326 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 7: Has always happened, it's nothing new. I do not recall 327 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,680 Speaker 7: in my lifetime saying it is this brutal. 328 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 4: As we were wrapping up our conversation with Mayor Back, 329 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 4: we asked not about the politics or her actions, but 330 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 4: about how this invasion of her city makes her feel. 331 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 7: It feels terrible that I cannot protect people to the 332 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 7: extent that I would like to. 333 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 2: And her response to the recent Supreme Courts ruline that 334 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: we've been talking about. 335 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 7: That basically legalized racial profiling, or as I say, the 336 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 7: hunting of Latinos. 337 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 2: Right, Cecho. So this is a good moment to pass 338 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 2: the mic over to you, because over the last few 339 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 2: months you've essentially become an expert on one. 340 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 4: Man, Gregory Bavino. 341 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:42,920 Speaker 12: I first came across Bavino back in January, before Trump 342 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 12: had taken office for the second time. Immigration agents had 343 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 12: just stormed into Kerrent County, California's agricultural heartland. Bavino was 344 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 12: the border patrol chief leading these raids. He started posting 345 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 12: on x and commenting on Facebook about it. From that moment, 346 00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 12: it became clear to me and my editor that Bavino 347 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 12: was auditioning for a bigger rule. Thanks so much for indviting. 348 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,800 Speaker 12: So I interviewed him in his office. 349 00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,399 Speaker 8: Well, Sergeia, thank you for coming. 350 00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 12: And there were a handful of armed agents standing behind 351 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 12: me the whole time. 352 00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 8: We do call ourselves the premier sector. So please let 353 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,920 Speaker 8: those other chiefs know that we said that. 354 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 12: I wanted to know if the Kerrent County operation was 355 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 12: targeted or if it was an indiscriminate raid of people. 356 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:22,880 Speaker 2: What was the goal of that operation. 357 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 8: We had a predetermined list of targets, many of which, 358 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 8: as you say, were prior to deports, already had immigration history, 359 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 8: criminal history. 360 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:34,160 Speaker 12: The question of going to the gas station where field 361 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 12: workers show up, the home depot where labors are. When 362 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 12: someone like a growers association says that they feel like 363 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 12: labors were targeted, these are places where people gather to 364 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 12: go to work or look for work. Is this that 365 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,719 Speaker 12: you were also looking for, just generally people who might 366 00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 12: be in the country legally. 367 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 8: We didn't go to the citrus fields, we didn't go 368 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 8: to any of the other fields. We did not conduct 369 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 8: farm and ranch check. So I think for US targeting 370 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 8: agricultural workers at their job, absolutely not that has no merit. 371 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 8: But when border patrol comes into contact with illegal aliens, 372 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 8: you're going to get arrested. 373 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 12: Out of the people you arrested, how many of those 374 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 12: people had criminal convictions. 375 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,400 Speaker 8: Every single one of the seventy eight that we arrested 376 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 8: were criminals. When you cross the border illegally at USC 377 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 8: thirteen twenty five illegal entry into the United States, So 378 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,399 Speaker 8: they were all criminals. Let's get that one out of 379 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 8: the way here, right out of the box, Sergey. Every 380 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 8: single one of them were criminals. Many of those did 381 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 8: have prior criminal convictions apart from their illegal entry into 382 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:41,520 Speaker 8: our country. 383 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 12: It turns out that wasn't true. According to documents that 384 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 12: we obtained from Customs and Board Protection, they had no 385 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 12: knowledge of criminal or migration history for seventy seven out 386 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 12: of the seventy eight people they arrested, only one person 387 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 12: had a prior deportation order. 388 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 8: We're going after bad people in bad things hard as 389 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 8: we can possibly go, and we're going to do it 390 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 8: on our time with our approach. 391 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 12: But I think the general public does see a difference 392 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,640 Speaker 12: between the palalatto or the citrus worker and the fentanyl 393 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,919 Speaker 12: dealer that they are not both on the same field. 394 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 8: If they cross the border illegally, then they're coming with us. 395 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 8: They are under arrest, and they're coming with us. Every 396 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 8: single one of them was arrested for one crime or another. 397 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 8: Whether they were convicted or not is a moot point here. 398 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 8: That's not important. 399 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 2: So this becomes the basis for all the sweeps that 400 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 2: we've seen. US government isn't using these violent raids to 401 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 2: go after violent criminals. They're using this force to go 402 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: after anyone they think maybe in the country without permission. 403 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 4: And we saw this play out when Bovino and his 404 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 4: team went to LA with full force. 405 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 13: Tactical officers on things like bear cant. 406 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 4: Vehicles, patrolling on horses, tanks. 407 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 8: A lot of bad things are in our country now, 408 00:23:58,000 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 8: including Los Angeles. 409 00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 2: He's truly taken a very public role as the leader 410 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 2: of all of these attacks. 411 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 4: And we need to pause and talk about the social media, 412 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 4: about the official videos and images produced by the Department 413 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 4: of Homeland Security. 414 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,760 Speaker 2: All of these efforts paid for with our tax dollars. 415 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 12: Customs and Border Protection won't tell us how much they're 416 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 12: spending on this effort. We've asked, But one thing is clear, 417 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,640 Speaker 12: but Vino is cultivating this image of a hardline, righteous enforcer. 418 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 8: There is no such thing as a sanctuary city. There's 419 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 8: no such thing as the sanctuary state we are here conducting. 420 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 12: These are highly polished hype videos of massed and heavily 421 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:42,240 Speaker 12: armed officers set to songs like Kendrick Lamar's DNA I 422 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 12: got in another video. But Vino is Darth Vader. He 423 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 12: slashes the rebels who are labeled as sanctuary cities, fake news, 424 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 12: and human smugglers. 425 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 4: These are wild and they're incredibly damaging. They're adding to 426 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 4: the depiction of immigrants as the enemy. They are endangering 427 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 4: every day working people who anti immigrant folks might think 428 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 4: just look or sound foreign. We've reported on the damage 429 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,920 Speaker 4: that this type of rhetoric has done. It is very real. 430 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 8: But we're taking this show on the road to a 431 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:14,520 Speaker 8: city near you. 432 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: Forget well new. 433 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 4: Some baths and even federal judges seem almost helpless. Bovino 434 00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,560 Speaker 4: is the one with the power. The Supreme Court made 435 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 4: it official. 436 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: And Bovino has now taken that power to Chicago. In 437 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 2: an interview with a WBEZ reporter, Bovino basically admitted to 438 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,919 Speaker 2: racial profiling. 439 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,160 Speaker 8: Then obviously the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look, 440 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 8: how do they look compared to say you. 441 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: What's your name again? 442 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:42,080 Speaker 14: Chip, Chip? 443 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:42,720 Speaker 2: Hey Chip? 444 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 5: You or other folks? 445 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 4: How do they appear. 446 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,119 Speaker 8: In relation to what you or other people look like? 447 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 12: So a lot. 448 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,879 Speaker 4: By the way, We requested another interview with Bovino, and 449 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,120 Speaker 4: after a couple of emails, we did not get it. 450 00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 12: Bakersfield was the test for LA was ground zero. Chicago 451 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 12: followed the playbook, but it doesn't end there. Truthfully, we 452 00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:08,840 Speaker 12: don't know how it ends. Federal agents are now in Washington, 453 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,120 Speaker 12: d C. Portland, and the Trump administration has said they're 454 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 12: just getting started. 455 00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 13: We should use some of these dangerous cities as training 456 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 13: grounds for our military National Guard. 457 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:23,360 Speaker 4: But according to the latest data, immigration agents have arrested 458 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,880 Speaker 4: more than seven thousand people in the LA area since 459 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 4: the raids began this summer. 460 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:40,560 Speaker 2: Immigration is the veneer to exert power. Nice. 461 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 12: I was just telling you, I think Illinois nice. 462 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 2: He's like, Illinois's nice, It's pretty. 463 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,119 Speaker 12: I think that would be so sunny. 464 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: We're in Chicago now, which is the second major city 465 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 2: where Bovino decided to take his troops. 466 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 4: And in Chicago, it starts with a death. 467 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,959 Speaker 8: The following breaking news out of the Chicago area, Homeland 468 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,080 Speaker 8: Security official say an ICE operation left an enforcement officer 469 00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 8: severely injured. 470 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 15: The Department of Homeland Security initially claimed the agent fired 471 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 15: the gun out of a fear for his life, the 472 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 15: agency adding the officer was seriously injured, Yet in that footage, 473 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 15: the agent himself can be hurt, telling police his injuries 474 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 15: were quote nothing major. 475 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: We're actually like on a major through way in Franklin 476 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: Park and it was on this major through way that 477 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 2: see radio was shot by ice. 478 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,679 Speaker 12: Thirty eight year old Silverdio Viegas Gonzalez was shot and 479 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,040 Speaker 12: killed on September twelfth. 480 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 2: He was a working man, a father, and a Mexican 481 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 2: immigrant from the state of metrok gun Seed Radio was 482 00:27:51,560 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 2: reportedly driving to work after dropping off his two children 483 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 2: at daycare when he got pulled over by ice. 484 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 12: The makeshift vigil for st is along the highway. 485 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 2: There are candles that are lit. There's roses, flowers, carnations, 486 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 2: white flowers, Mexican flags, a Mexican flag intertwined with an 487 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:13,520 Speaker 2: American flag. 488 00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,880 Speaker 12: It's a small vigil, perhaps a sign of the times. 489 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 2: That probably if he had been killed under any other circumstance, 490 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 2: more people might have shown up. But I think people 491 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 2: are afraid. 492 00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 12: Elected officials in the US and even Mexico demanded answers 493 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 12: about this killing. Illinois Governor JB.
