The today image of masked ICE or DHS agents hunting down anyone who is not white, seizing a man or woman on the street or kidnapping at their workplace, is the documentary movie of history testifying 500 years of western slavery and systemic racism. The federal agents in action are the modern-day version of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, which formalized the role of bounty hunters, who, in addition to hunting down fugitives from the slavery plantations, could kidnap any black man not having the freedom certificate, bring him back in chains to a slave state and sell him into the market as a slave again. The close similarities hide the truth. The fugitive from the plantation or the former slave without the certificate was forced in chain again under the slavery condition. The current life condition of an immigrant person that does not have documents is proper the current shape of the modern slavery.
