And isn't this excerpt rich?
According to the Membership Director for Florida Immigrant Coalition, Isabel Sousa-Rodriguez," incidents like these erode public trust in police and authority figures whose job is to serve and protect our communities.
So do highwaymen posing as Highway Patrolmen in unmarked cars who lurk around places where they can issue costly citations for petty offenses in the name of public safety.
And how long was her visa expired? Why are "immigrants" of any stripe (especially from $***hole countries) supposed to be a special class with more rights than mere American citizens?
Nope, it helps me trust our police and border patrol agents. Until Trump, I had no faith whatsoever in our border patrol or ICE agents.
I stated this on a previous thread that I saw this happen on a Greyhound bus back in 1979 in New Mexico.
Back in 1988, I was on an Amtrak train that was traveling along the southern border in Texas, and the train was boarded by border patrol agents. They even asked me if I was an American citizen; when I said “Yes of course”, they moved on.
I guess the citizens should have been demonstrating decades ago to get some enforcement.
We have had a succession of 4 Presidents, 2 of each party, who refused to secure the border and enforce the laws.
The illegal alien inundation was intentional.
Outcry, sure.
A friend of mine had his medicinal marijuana confiscated on a California Greyhound. Since then, the guy rides Boltbus only for the SF-LA route.
I am NOT dumping on ANY LEO types but..
Nice to see that someone in charge is finally letting the BP do its job.
If it is/was OK for BO to probe Right Wing groups etc why aren’t we running a full check on all the ‘Victim advocacy Groups who are promoting Illegals staying in the country’. (I am NOT suggesting tit for tat, I am saying if one group deserves attention then they all should)
You can bet your bippy that had these groups taken the ‘ANTI-LEFT’ side of the argument there would be daily hearings, threats of jail and full press backing.
Back in the hanging chad days when we were forced to undergo a ‘contest’ to see which ‘idiot’ rose to lead this great land of ours, I often stated that if AG had won all the Senators & Congressmen would have done is exchange notes.
Stuff of this nature shouldn’t be NEWS, it should be the result of EVERYONE doing the job that WE THE PEOPLE are paying them for.
Her visa was expired. She didn’t leave as required and was arrested. Why the outcry?
Yeah right - "many"... that would be "many reporters and white liberal elites' who want these people on the voter roles... and bullying American workers into working cheaper.
Stuff it MSNBC we know where you're coming from ... and it ain't your big loving BS heart...
Expired visa my foot. Well, if that’s the case, she just “accidentally” over stayed her visa because she was so enamored with her grand baby, she just gets a free ride home. If she had other plans in mind, fugghedaboutit.
If oonly they asked for proof of citizenship at the polling places.
They want a return to the Obama lawless society.
So...if I entered another country illegally, breaking and disrespecting their laws, I should not be surprised if someone came to arrest me.
If they are really trying to find and deport illegal aliens, then I don’t mind.
The “advocacy groups” helped create the circumstances that make this necessary, so they can ESAD and GOMC.
“demanding from people on board proof of citizenship”
Did they ask people if they were US citizens or demand certified birth certificates?
” I’m very concerned about these officers questioning her without a lawyer present.”
Yeah, that’s the ticket! When you are stopped for speeding, you always call your lawyer.
This is funny. My wife and I were taking a vacation on a ship sailing out of a Canadian port and we had to cross the border from the US. At that time we were not being required to hand over our passports as we were carrying military ID’s which we were told would suffice as ID.
They came back on to the bus and everyone got their information back except the wife and I and we, and the bus, were detained. Guessed right when I figured they used the US federal sources to check on my ID, that because of my clearance level, the system spit them out with nothing. I didn’t exist. Course this raised a few red flags, but after a couple of calls to sources I gave them, we were back on our merry way. At least as
the wife and I were leaving the bus when detained, I let the other passengers know I was not an international spy. Got a laugh.
I wasn’t, and still am not, mad at them for doing it. It’s their job. Glad they were diligent. I’d rather the US lose a criminal in the right direction than one escape to the wrong direction so it can return.

“Outcry”
Lol
Don’t ya’ love the state media always trying to push the fringe groups as some voice of the people?
Cool baby! Me like. If we cannot get rid of these leeches, then at least Make the illegal aliens sweat.
