    A 23-year-old electrician from Brentwood, New York, was handcuffed and detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents while driving to work in Westbury. Despite proving his U.S. citizenship, Elzon Lemus was stopped, searched, and held for about 25 minutes. The encounter was recorded on his phone.

    ICE agents pulled over Lemus and his co-worker while they were in a work van. An agent asked for identification but gave only vague reasons, saying Lemus looked like someone they were searching for. When Lemus asked for more details, the agent warned that refusal to provide ID could lead to problems. The agent then forcefully opened the van door and told Lemus to stop recording. Lemus felt his rights were ignored during the stop.

    After detaining him, ICE agents found Lemus’s ID confirming he was a U.S. citizen and released him without explanation or apology. Lemus asked for the agents’ names and badge numbers, but they refused to provide them before leaving upset that they could not detain either him or his co-worker.

    Civil rights attorney Fred Brewington, who represents Lemus, says the stop may have violated constitutional protections. He said random stops based on hunches are not allowed and called the incident racial profiling. Brewington said officers must have a clear reason to request identification, which was not given in this case.

    Despite being a citizen, Lemus said the incident left him scared of future encounters with law enforcement. He described feeling like he lost all his rights when stopped and was shocked by how the agents acted.

    No lawsuit has been filed yet, but Lemus and his attorney are asking for a full investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice. They are sharing the story publicly to raise awareness about possible abuses of power by ICE agents. NBC New York contacted ICE for comment but received no response.

    This incident happens during a time of increased ICE enforcement nationwide. While ICE focuses on undocumented immigrants, critics warn that innocent people may be caught up in enforcement actions. Civil rights experts stress that law enforcement must follow the law and respect constitutional rights when stopping or detaining anyone.

    The case highlights ongoing concerns about racial profiling and civil rights violations. It also raises questions about how ICE conducts stops and whether agents are held accountable for their actions.

    Lemus and his lawyer want authorities to review the case to prevent similar incidents in the future. Community members continue to express worry about racial profiling and demand respect for the rights of all citizens.
