Jacelynn Guzman said she is a U.S.-born citizen. The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that it “determined the individual in question was not the target.”

Masked immigration authorities were recorded on video this week following a woman back to her Louisiana home during what the Department of Homeland Security is calling a “targeted immigration enforcement operation.”

Jacelynn Guzman, 23, was walking home Thursday from a corner store in Marrero, a New Orleans suburb, when a silver, unmarked SUV pulled up next to her and two masked agents exited, she said.

“I was walking and the first car pulled up on the side of me and I thought it was an Uber,” she said. “They said, ‘Wait don’t run, Ma’am.’ That’s all I heard before I blasted off,” Guzman told NBC News on Saturday.

Guzman said she repeatedly told the agents she’s a U.S. citizen.
