From the original reddit post
This happened at the Walgreens on Ashlan/Cornelia, but the meeting was set up via FB Marketplace so it could happen anywhere.

tl;dr ICE pretended to be a Spanish-speaking buyer on FB marketplace to target my friend’s wife.
This happened this last Monday, details are in the picture. My friend’s wife is Filipino, and an American citizen. She uses her maiden name, which would sound “foreign” to the average American. That’s probably why she was targeted.
Be careful out there friends.
Republican voters still think that everyone ICE is picking up is a violent criminal.
Of course. But that’s an article of faith of the order they support, not a prediction about what happens statistically within that order.
It’s like how Republicans can watch Starship Troopers without understanding it’s a satire. Soldiers dying in stupid ways because of conservative protocols in no way reflects negatively upon those protocols. They can recognize that the tactics will result in failure but that’s observational humor rather than critique.
