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.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox Host Comes To Reporter's Defense After Pete Hegseth Berates Her At Pentagon Briefing

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
