An employee of Bucky's gas station in Naperville, Illinois was fired after a video displaying his racist behavior went viral.


The video was recorded by Carolina Buitron who was the victim of the employee's behavior, along with her family.

According to BuzzFeed News, Buitron and some of her family members visiting from Mexico stopped into the Naperville Bucky's for snacks.

Buitron and her family were conversing in Spanish when the employee told them to leave.

Buitron said:

"He started asking about my cousins, if they were illegal, family or friends, are they adopted."

On the video, the employee can be seen pointing at himself and proclaiming:

"I'm an American."

He proceeds to claim that their presence is illegal even when one of the women answers "yes" to whether or not she is a citizen.

He continues:

"Don't you know the rules? They need to go back to their country. It's illegal."

Just before the video ends, he says:

"You'll be sorry. ICE will come."

Bucky's has since posted an apology and shared that the man has since been fired.

The mayor of Naperville, Steve Chirico, has also chimed in to denounce the man's behavior.

People are disgusted by the racism displayed in the video.

Elon Musk Dragged After Showing Off His Juvenile Fake Police Badge Declaring Himself 'The Dogefather'

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely ridiculed after sharing a photo of his fake law enforcement badge—complete with the badge number "69420"—that declares him "The Dogefather," flexing his authority as the leader of the advisory Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is at the center of the ongoing slash-and-burn approach to gutting federal spending.

Musk appeared positively thrilled when he shared the photo—perhaps the most cringey thing he's done, at least thus far, since attaining unprecedented political power.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.
