ICE Agents in Hillsboro, Oregon Accused of Abducting Residents Using Vehicles Disguised As Ubers: 'We Need to Boycott'

https://share.newsbreak.com/g4ix46jn

"Although ICE agents often rely on the most direct and forceful methods during their operations, there are moments when they try to move under the radar. A recent incident in Hillsboro, Oregon threw that into sharp focus. A local woman noticed a suspicious vehicle circling her neighborhood, and from the moment she saw it, she had a hunch that something wasn’t right. The behavior of the car, the way it slowed near pedestrians, and the tension she sensed from the driver made her think the vehicle belonged to ICE agents.
Normally, spotting a strange car wouldn’t be cause for alarm. But what made this situation unsettling was the fact that the vehicle was disguised as an Uber. When the Hillsboro woman realized this, she took out her phone immediately and began recording. She felt the public needed to see what was happening in broad daylight on their own streets.
The driver, who appeared to be an ICE agent, noticed the camera pointed his way and quickly tried to pull the car out of the area. As he turned the vehicle around, the dashboard came into view. There, just barely visible through the glare on the windshield, was an Uber logo placed near the front console. It wasn’t crystal clear due to the reflection, but it was noticeable enough for anyone watching carefully.
As the car moved, the camera also caught a quick glimpse of the driver’s face before he turned away. Like many ICE agents seen in similar recordings, he wore a mask to obscure his identity while he searched for whoever he was targeting. That only fueled more concern among those watching the video later."
