Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a U.S. citizen, was detained during an immigration raid in Foley, Alabama, despite possessing a REAL ID that authorities dismissed as fake. Video footage captured the incident, where he was forcibly arrested while trying to assert his citizenship, and he later stated that the handcuffs were applied painfully. His cousin expressed concern over the racial profiling involved, highlighting the broader impact of such immigration enforcement on the Hispanic community, including fears among U.S. citizens about discrimination and workplace repercussions.
