U.S. Citizen Describes Being Chased by Border Agents in New Orleans

A 22-year-old New Orleans woman says U.S. immigration agents chased her down a public street, despite her being a U.S. citizen. She shared her account with CBS Saturday Morning. The woman states she was born and raised in the United States. She described being pursued by officers from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). This incident occurs as CBP increases operations in New Orleans. The agency is following the Trump administration's stricter immigration policies. CBP has not commented on this specific case. The agency states its officers may question individuals and ask for proof of legal status within 100 miles of any U.S. border.
