Puerto Rican Citizens Face Discrimination in Travel and Transportation

A Puerto Rican man was denied a prepaid rental car from Hertz in New Orleans after an employee suggested he was not a US citizen and needed to show a valid ID. A police officer arrived and sided with the employee, telling the man to leave without his rental car. The incident was captured on body-cam video and has sparked outrage over discrimination against Puerto Ricans and confusion over ID requirements. Hertz has apologized and refunded the man's rental, while the police department has initiated an investigation into the officer's conduct.
