Immigration stormtroopers raided a Newark, New Jersey seafood store on Thursday, arresting three suspected undocumented workers and ordering several more to appear before a judge, owner Luis Janota tells PIX11 News, adding that among the "detained" was a Puerto Rico-born military vet – as in a citizen. It's not clear from the article whether "detained" means the man was arrested and taken away or if he was subjected to a lengthy interrogation on-site and then left alone.
"I was confused, they took three people who did not have any documentation on them," Janota said about the unfriendly visit by about 10 to 12 agents acting on a tip, likely from some local MAGA asshole and/or competitor. "I asked them [the agents] what documentation they were looking for, and they said it was a license or a passport. I thought, who walks around with a passport?"
Janota told PIX111 that "One of the guys was a military veteran, and the way he looked to me was because he's Hispanic. He is Puerto Rican and the manager of our warehouse. It looked to me like they were specifically going after certain kinds of people – not every kind, because they did not ask me for documentation for my American workers, Portuguese workers, or white workers."
