A Dallas, TX women went viral after a video was posted on social media of her threatening to call Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on a couple of food truck workers.

The women who has been identified as “Valerie” according to WFAA 8, was seen in the short clip having a confrontation with a couple of unidentified food truck workers stopped at a construction site. The homeowner told the vendors to leave.

The conversation went as follows:

“Ok babygirl, vamanos,” Valerie told the women.

“I’m not your babygirl,” one of the vendors replied.

“I’ll call I.C.E.!” Valerie said.

“Call them,” the vendor said. “Call them! You can call them! Call them right now!”

The homeowner has been named “Taco Truck Tammy” on social media.

“I’m scared for my safety,” Valerie told the news station. “I’m going viral.”

Valerie said she was aware of the backlash she is receiving across social media for threatening to call I.C.E. “It was an unfortunate comment. I mean, I wish I’d used my words better.”

Valerie alleges the video does not show the entire story. Valerie claims she is preparing to sell her house and there is construction surrounding her property. The woman claims she was at a breaking point when the taco truck arrived on her street last week.

“There’s all the honking going on with the taco truck. There’s the hammering, and the beeping, and the sawing, and everything else. I just walked out and I said, ‘You guys can’t be here. This is a residential area, you guys need to move.’ It was probably that curt” Valerie said.

Valerie alleges the taco truck operators lashed out at her first. “The guys called me, and they were like, ‘We’re leaving,’ said Gabriella Unger, who supervises some construction workers on the street.

Unger said some of her employees are immigrants from Mexico. She said they feared the neighbor was using the threat of calling I.C.E as intimidation.

“Well, it is very frustrating,” Unger said. “You know, nowadays, we know the situation. But, you know, I wish we were respected more.”
