Published on: Mar 27, 2026 7:07 AM IST By Trisha Sengupta Share via Copy link A woman in Maryland allegedly called Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on six workers of Guatemalan origin while they were busy fixing her roof. Footage of the men getting detained by the ICE agents surfaced on social media after one of their co-workers, Bryan Polanco, livestreamed the incident. Though the video, originally posted by Polanco on his Instagram account, has been deleted, it has been reshared across several social media platforms. The event has sparked widespread outrage. Snippets from the video of the workers being detained by ICE.

The clip captures a few workers on a roof being confronted by ICE agents who demand they climb down. As the video continues, a woman - presumably the homeowner - is seen looking at the interaction between the crew and the ICE agents.What did social media say?
The event ignited a surge of public fury and debate. Critics demanded legal action against the woman, alleging she recruited the workers while fully aware of their status. An individual commented, “This is pure wickedness.” Another added, “I would love it if they could charge her for knowingly hiring immigrant workers.” A third expressed, “Smh, I would’ve removed every single thing that was installed. That is pure wickedness." A fourth wrote, “Isn’t she supposed to be arrested too for hiring them? I hope she gets karma.” Some also questioned the timing of her call to ICE. Reportedly, she repoted the crew to the agents just as the work neared completion, allegedly to avoid a $10,000 payment.

"Seeing it is not the same as experiencing it. I've seen many videos, and sadly today I had to experience it, and I feel that it's something that really moves you," Polanco told the Spanish language outlet. He added, “I'm very saddened by the situation... many Hispanics here in the United States have felt persecuted. We leave our homes and don't know if we'll ever return.”Relatives of the detained crew express concern:
“I feel so sad, desperate for my husband… we're here to get ahead, not to do evil,” the wife of one of the detained workers told the outlet. She added that she was five months pregnant and also had two children at home.
