A United States citizen living in Northern Virginia is reconsidering his support for President Donald Trump after an encounter in which he said he was handcuffed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Jensy Machado was driving to work on Wednesday with two other men when he was stopped not too far from his home in Manassas, he told Spanish-language news outlet Telemundo 44. The outlet’s sister station, NBC4 Washington, covered the story in English.
Machado said his pickup truck was surrounded by agents, one of whom walked up to him with a gun in his hand and asked about a man Machado had never heard of.
The agents were looking for a man Machado did not know, but who had claimed he lived at Machado’s address, he said.
Machado was placed in handcuffs and grilled about his legal status, he told the news outlet.
“I told him I was an American citizen, and he looked at his other partner like, you know, smiling, like saying, ’Can you believe this guy? Because he asked the other guy, ‘Do you believe him?’” Machado said.
NBC4 verified that Machado is a U.S. citizen. He was released after showing agents his driver’s license, he said.
