The woman, named Jacelynn, 22, was born and raised in the New Orleans suburb.

She says she was walking back from the grocery store when masked federal agents in an SUV attempted to approach her just outside her house.

Jacelynn said she told them she was a U.S.-born citizen.

She said several men then hopped out of another car, and that is when she started to run to her home.

Video shows her stepfather confronting the agents outside the home before they got in their cars and left.

The Department of Homeland Security said it has launched an immigration enforcement operation in the New Orleans area.

It's unclear why Jacelynn was targeted.
