Someone was here ILLEGALLY...and Border Patrol did their job.
To watch/read/listen to the FAKE NEWS in south Florida (I've seen TWO tv reports and the Shun-Sentinel Fake Newspaper on the subject), you'd think the Border Patrol agents were the Gestapo.
I know people that this has happened to in Canada. If you overstay your visa they escort you to a plane.
Deportation for expired visas should be automatic. The traveler agreed to depart by date certain. That date has gone by. What else is there to say?
Enforce the terms of the agreement, and put that person on a list (with biometrics) to make sure they never get another visa or consideration for legal immigration.
Do that a few thousand times, and staying on an expired visa will become much less common.
Pour encourager les autres.
Do this a few thousand times, and illegal voting will become quite rare.
Alternate world dream: ICE raids some of the broadcast studios and arrests the anti-American anchors while they are on the air.
When I traveled by Greyhound from East Texas to California in the late 1980s there was a stop in the desert somewhere (not in Texas) where passengers were asked to provide ID or state that they were in the country legally. It is nothing new.
And what was more offensive was passing into California and being told that all produce had to be thrown out before we could pass. Nice way to protect your produce industry from imported goods. How queer that same industry imports and supports illegal labor.
I hope they are defending their power to detain, etc...
Government entities have powers, they do not have rights.
Why didn’t they have a better idea who it was. A lot of actual Americans are going to be bristly about getting the suspicious treatment (wasn’t there a “papers please” section of World Net Daily?). I’d hate to be imprisoned on suspicion of not being American when the problem was a lost driver’s license. Isn’t that what a Wall is for.
That makes her an illegal alien. Send her back home.
DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS. NO exceptions.
God bless President Trump, he is enforcing the law thus saving this country
It turns out there are lots of articles on when you must show your identity papers. Below is one written from the “resist” standpoint. One requirement is if the officer has a reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. I’d say somebody on a bus who is obviously foreign, especially if there are a lot of illegals in the area, probably falls into this category. When I visited Mexico my local host suggested I carry my passport with me at all times. I witnessed American licensed cars being pulled over and the cop demanding $50 or he’d arrest them. Not being able to prove I am there legally would have been one “legitimate” reason to arrest me and demand money for my release. (Yeah, the place was a sh*thole.)

...The Florida Immigration Coalition membership director, Isabel Souza, said she spoke to Beverly’s frantic daughter-in-law...
So, nobody knew she “overstayed” her visa? A huge percentage of illegals get here that way.
There are border checkpoints between San Diego and Los Angeles. I am at a loss on how they can tell who or who isn’t legal as you drive by the check point but evidently they have a system.
In the 1970s (if I remember correctly) these type of checkpoints were challenged in court and the Supreme Court ruled they were okay.
Too bad . You have to go back. If they have been doing it fir years what is the problem?
Remember, civil asset forfeiture began with “good” intentions of seizing assets from suspected criminals so they would not use those assets for legal defense.
All I can say here is that I hope that ICE had probable cause to demand identification for each individual. Sure, LEOs can ask for ID, but they cannot hold someone without probable cause. If someone refuses to hand over their ID travelling on a bus, train, as a passenger in a car or just walking within the US, that does not in itself constitute probable cause.
Most Americans want their border enforced. But they don’t like it when law enforcement exploits popular public sentiment as a pretext to strip citizens of their 4th amendment rights.
Airports are basically constitution free zones; do we really want checkpoints for those travelling as passengers within the country as well? Because, we all know that 0bama was doing this against regular citizens just a few years ago, and Hitlery would certainly have promoted checkpoints as a means of hassling the “deplorables”.
If you go home, when your visa expires, you have to buy a ticket.
If you overstay, the government deports you, on the taxpayer’s dime.
Anyone see a flaw in the system here?

[Queen - Another One Bites the Dust - should be the ICE official theme song]
Steve walks warily down the street
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready? Hey, are you ready for this?
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat, yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
How do you think I’m going to get along
Without you, when you’re gone
You took me for everything that I had
And kicked me out on my own
Are you happy, are you satisfied?
How long can you stand the heat?
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat
Look out
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
Hey
Oh, take it
Bite the dust, hey
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust, ow
Another one bites the dust, hey hey
Another one bites the dust, hey-eh-eh
Ooh
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him, you can cheat him, you can treat him bad
And leave him when he’s down, yeah
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
Oh yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust(Yeah)
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust
It is the LAW that all non-citizens have their visa papers with them at all times.
Nothing to defend. Great job Border Patrol.
Just after Trump was in office, I passed a Border Patrol truck on the freeway. I looked at the officer and flashed a thumbs up.
He responded quickly and in kind, obviously thrilled to be able to engage in his job and mission again.
Can you imagine what happens to US citizens abroad who make even the most minor infractions of the law... REPEATEDLY, KNOWINGLY?
An Australian girl was one day over her visa and she was even leaving the US when stopped at the Canadian border by ICE, detained for three weeks - family was frantic in trying to locate her.
