Indian-origin doctor accuses ICE of harassing her mother

Indian-origin doctor accuses ICE of harassing her mother

A doctor named Nisha Patel said that her mother, who is a US citizen, was stopped and questioned by ICE agents in Texas.

The agents thought her mother was from another country because of her accent.

They spoke to her in Spanish, but she doesn't speak Spanish.

Her mother showed them a picture of her US passport on her phone to prove she is a citizen.

This happened while ICE has been doing more checks on people who might not have the right papers to be in the US.

Some people are upset about these actions, and there have been protests.

The United Nations also said that the US is being too harsh with its immigration rules.
