In California, fear of racial profiling grips Latino communities

The raid carried out by federal agents outraged the 25-year-old, who wishes to remain anonymous for fear that his business, which employs many undocumented Latin American migrants, will be targeted again. "It felt like racial profiling," he said while showing AFP footage of the operation in Downey, a suburb of Los Angeles. In the videos, immigration officers chase and capture two car wash workers with dark complexions. Meanwhile, a lighter-skinned colleague calmly got into his car and drove away without being stopped.
