Elzon Lemus, a 23-year-old electrician who was born, raised, and still lives in Brentwood, said he was a passenger in a car on his way to a job site on June 3 when six unmarked vehicles operated by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents stopped him on Union Avenue in Westbury.
Lemus said one ICE agent approached the car and repeatedly asked him for his ID. The agents did not wear name tags or badges, and when he asked for that information, they did not provide it.
