This winter season has been very ICE-y, and not just from the cold. All over the news, immigration agents have been terrorizing anyone and everyone, even US citizens. A DoorDasher has even been chased down by masked agents in Minnesota, so it wouldn’t be hard to associate any random arrest these days with ICE. That said, one driver was pulled over by police during a delivery right in front of their recipient’s home in Colorado.
Shocked by the scene, the customer took a photo and shared it on catsl0veboxez. “I still got my food,” she said, claiming to have given the Dasher an extra tip and even a 5-star rating for “going above and beyond.” “Probably in cooperation with ICE,” reacted a commenter, and during these rough times, they wouldn’t be wrong for thinking that. However, the customer explains that she lives in a very small town with a population of allegedly 9,500. “So I doubt ICE would even give us a second glance tbh,” she remarks.
According to her story, the DoorDash driver messaged her after arriving with “I’m here, but can’t get out of the car.” She went out in front of her house and greeted both the officer at the scene and the driver before asking if she could still get her delivery. The police agreed, and she went back inside with a warm meal for dinner and claimed that “the cop was actually pretty cool about it.”
Going out at night into the street for a DoorDash order is pretty questionable, especially given the presence of police. One commenter suspected the customer of being probably white; otherwise, she wouldn’t have so nonchalantly gone outside to ask for her food. But she shot down the accusation, saying, “I’ve had the same experience and I’m a Native American. It very much depends on the cop. Some cops go into that career for the power, some go in it to actually help people.”
All’s well that ends well, at least for the DoorDash customer and her meal. As for the driver, people can only wonder what his fate was, as no one besides him and the cops knows of his mysterious crime. But at the very least, as one commenter remarks, “Good thing there weren’t ICE.”
