I watched the above video, and it was quite alarming. An ICE officer is arrested for DUI (with his kids in the car,) and while acting the way you expect, he starts questioning the nationality of the arresting police after he suspects one of the black officers of being Haitian.

It cuts to the heart of the issue, of ICE officers using race based observations.

Everyday it seems more and more videos are surfacing of ICE officers acting inappropriately. This may be due to the sudden surge to hire 30k agents in a few months leading to reduced standards/getting and high bonuses leading to many people taking the job for the wrong reasons.

It just seems to me we are entering a world where Federal Officers are using race as an observation method to find who to target.

I have no issue with profiling when trying to identify and ferret out illegal aliens...it seems logical and necessary.

What reason would he have to ask the assisting officer if he was Haitian in this video? Besides racism?

An arrogant power play?

You mean ICE doing good police work? See, if illegal aliens tend to fit certain racial profiles then they are going to ask people that fit those profiles. People here legally need to blame the illegal aliens, not ICE, for it happening.

You think a local police officer in Florida is likely to be an illegal alien despite their race or nationality?

Can’t say on just that description. Have to see them and see how much they fit an illegal alien profile. Hopefully a cop would be vetted before hire.

You can't even be a cop without being a citizen. And, if somehow he foolled the background investigators and vetters, some drunk guy on the street is not going to solve it. He clearly only brought up his nationality as an intimidation factor.

Not everyone with dark skin and a foreign accent is a non-citizen.

Point of clarification, you can become a cop int he US without being a citizen.

That being said, Duffy isn't even trying to hide the GOP racism.
