Lately, it is almost impossible to really know who is a legal or illegal immigrant in the country. ICE has fallen into racial profiling, random arrests, and has even gone to such lengths that everything they do looks like a kidnapping. Unfortunately, these things seem to continue, and lately, they have become even worse. Recently, someone shared footage from inside a bus full of farm workers in Florida who began praying as soon as ICE stopped the vehicle. To make matters worse, it seems all these workers are now missing, with no information on their whereabouts.
The harrowing clip comes from Instagram user TomasKenn. In it, you can observe a group of farm workers near Ave Maria, Florida, where ICE agents pull the bus over, and they start praying as they know what is coming.
The woman who starts praying in Spanish says the following: “Brothers and sisters, we ask you to pray for us, please. Immigration has stopped us. We only ask that you keep us in your prayers this morning.”
You can also listen to a lot of people crying in the background, with some moving frantically around the bus. Sadly, this is where the video stops, and according to the person who shared the clip on Reddit, the farm workers are still missing.
While we don’t know if they were actual illegal immigrants, this is a scary situation, and one of the many that keep happening around the country. ICE has become worse when it comes to detaining people, and is using scary tactics to conduct their random arrests. According to some eyewitnesses, ICE detained at least 30 farm workers that day, and it is still unclear what their status in the country was.
Many shocked Redditors shared their thoughts on the matter, with many disappointed at the current state of the country.
“What happened to America?” commented PuzzleheadedOwl1957.
“I am praying for these workers. This is horrible,” said Deep-Ad-7117.
Tension keeps growing in the country, as many believe that if ICE keeps targeting farm workers, we might experience a shortage of food. Some states have already reported that this has been one of the worst harvest seasons in years, and things are bound to get much worse. We can only hope things improve one day, but it doesn’t seem likely to happen anytime soon.
