There are hundreds of these types of stories occurring every day. It’s grotesque and un-American. Or at the very least, it should not be something Americans do. Snatch and grab arrests based solely on racial profiling on city streets used to be something that happened only in the bad countries. Now it happens here, every day.

LADERA HEIGHTS, Calif. (KABC) — Video shows community members rushing in to try and help a street vendor as she was taken by ICE agents in Ladera Heights.
The incident unfolded on Monday as Celina Ramirez was selling tacos on the sidewalk outside a Home Depot.
Aleca Le Blanc witnessed the incident and described the agents as: “Ten guys, all jacked up and armed, taking away a woman who probably weighs 100 pounds. That already is ridiculous.”
Le Blanc captured the chaotic incident on video.
According to the National Day Laborer Organizing Network – which has set up a GoFundMe to help Celina’s partner and their 4-year-old son – the 26-year-old came to the United States two years ago hoping for a better life.
