## Caption

Three Denver women protesting mass raids and deportations against immigrants were met with violence and racism in a viral incident caught on camera.

Ellie, Ruby and Aileen were walking down Lincoln Street on Saturday, February 8, to join the demonstration at the State Capitol Building, holding signs under their arms with phrases including “deport racists” and “immigrants make America great.” But as they moved between 10th and 11th avenues, two men in a passing truck shouted “white power,” “Nazi power” and “fuck you” at the women, they say.

According to the women, that’s when they started recording. The video shows the truck driving backward down the one-way street toward the women walking on the sidewalk, with the front-seat passenger flipping them off. The passenger then throws a glass bottle out of the window toward the women, which breaks in the street. He throws a second glass bottle that reaches the sidewalk, shattering at the women’s feet.

The truck is then seen speeding away down Lincoln Street, as the passenger screams “motherfucker” and throws a Nazi salute out the window.
