Additional raw footage. 👇 A confrontation recorded during neighborhood roadwork in Chadds Ford has drawn attention online after a woman repeatedly accused Hispanic workers of being in the country illegally and threatened them with immigration enforcement. The video, posted by Geremias Hernandez, appears to show a crew repaving a... residential roadway near Ponds Edge Drive. The precise intersection and whether the street is township-owned or privately maintained have not been independently confirmed. In the footage, the woman approaches the workers while walking a golden retriever and demands information about the project. As the exchange escalates, she repeatedly questions the workers’ immigration status rather than discussing only the roadwork. “None of you are legal. I looked,” the woman can be heard saying in the recording. “You’re all illegal. ICE is coming,” she adds. One worker responds that he is from the United States. The woman then tells him to “go back” to where he came from, according to the video. The recording does not show how the confrontation began, and no evidence is presented indicating that the woman had access to the workers’ employment or immigration records. Immigration status also cannot be determined from a person’s appearance, language or occupation. The exchange unfolds as the crew appears to be carrying out scheduled paving work using commercial road equipment. Workers largely remain near the worksite while attempting to explain that they are there to do their jobs. Dog repeatedly pulled during confrontation. The woman’s treatment of the dog she is walking also drew concern from viewers. As she gestures, moves toward the workers and argues with the person recording, the leash repeatedly becomes taut around the dog’s neck. The golden retriever appears to brace its legs, pull backward and resist being moved closer to the confrontation. At several points, the dog’s head and neck are pulled sharply as the woman changes direction or waves the leash-holding arm. The animal appears visibly uncomfortable and attempts to remain behind her. The footage does not establish that the dog was physically injured. However, repeated pressure from a collar and leash can place strain on a dog’s neck, particularly when the animal is resisting or being jerked unexpectedly. The woman has not been publicly identified, and her account of the dispute is not available. The incident appears to have occurred in Chadds Ford, an affluent suburban and semi-rural community roughly 25 miles southwest of Philadelphia.show more
