Either way, this incident reflects targeted harassment, and it raises serious legal and constitutional concerns.

If someone insists this was unintentional, they’re left with two troubling alternatives: either ICE is so reckless that it randomly stops and harasses U.S. citizens and demands proof of citizenship, or agents are engaging in illegal racial profiling. Neither explanation is acceptable.

With access to this volume of data, the claim that this stop was random strains credibility. The far more likely explanation is that data was used to identify the vehicle and deliberately target the person driving it.

Exactly.
