“Now you don’t get f —— nothing … you can’t read, write and speak English,” the UPS driver is seen pasting the notice in the door of the house, a young Latino police officer lives in the house.

“UPS is huge, it’s global and this serves any other company that offers packages, you can’t do that. You can’t just look at a package and take these crazy assumptions,” Shirley Aviles, mother of the home-based Latino officer told NBC News by phone.

Due to privacy concerns, the name of the terminated UPS driver has not been disclosed.

Digital records from the family’s video doorbell camera service shared with reporters by Forward Latino do not show the UPS operator ringing the doorbell as he delivers the package to the Aviles family. Morin added that there is no evidence the worker ever knocked on the door.

The police officer’s mother said, “The package was a Christmas gift we eventually received after Christmas Day, but what if there was time-sensitive content like an epipen or a book I needed to take a final copy.” “I didn’t get that. It’s just sad.”

“So what we have here is a very deliberate act to spoil someone’s Christmas, for someone to unleash this hate speech, and quite frankly, to deceive an employer,” said Maureen.

Matthew O’Connor, UPS’s chief media relations manager, said in an email that the company “immediately contacted the family to offer our deepest apologies when we learned of this incident.”

“There is no place in any society for racism, bigotry or hatred. This is a very serious matter and we have taken action immediately to terminate the employment of the driver. UPS is wholeheartedly committed to diversity, fairness and inclusion,” he said.

The Aviles family learned of the end of their UPS driver after Tuesday’s press conference.

However, Aviles said, “This is more than just” Hey, I’m sorry, he’s been fired and we apologize. “

Aviles, who works for a well-known local social services agency, said, “This is about the things people do when they think no one is watching them. It’s important because that’s when you see the true colors of people and that’s scary.”
