Video Claims Mass Detention of Construction Workers in Texas by ICE

A video circulating online purports to show a large group of construction workers, alleged to be Hispanic, gathered in a facility following claims of detention by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in Texas. The video, uploaded by a user identified as Jt, includes an overlay questioning who would perform construction if these workers were indeed detained. The accompanying description asserts that over 500 Hispanic construction workers were reportedly detained at job sites in Texas within the last 48 hours, alleging the actions are driven by racism and control rather than legal grounds. The footage itself shows numerous individuals in work attire, consistent with construction laborers, within a large indoor space. No official statements from ICE or other authorities regarding these specific claims have been released at this time. The video has garnered significant attention, sparking discussion on social media regarding immigration enforcement and its impact on the labor force.
