The Bucky's gas station clerk in Naperville, Illinois, questioned if the women were American citizens as they tried to buy items.
The gas station employee at the center of a viral video controversy in which he was filmed threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Mexican tourists is now suspended from his job.
The employee mentions"undocumented people," mentions that he is an American citizen, and asks the women:"Are you an American citizen?" When asked what his problem is, he says:"They need to go back to their country. It's illegal." As the women leave the store he says:"ICE will come… You're in the wrong country."
"He started asking about my cousins, if they were illegal, family or friends, are they adopted," Buitron told NBC Chicago, and said it was at this point that she began recording on her cell phone. "Within the last few hours, a video was posted on social media displaying a Bucky's associate engaged in a confrontation with a customer," said a statement by Bucky's, posted to its Facebook page.
