If you're gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough.
The Detroit Free Press: Border Patrol arrested a Detroit student on a field trip. He now faces deportation.
So, an illegal in high school at age 18 was driving with three minors in the car and was tailgating a police car. Not the smartest move, really.
Note the semantics in the article - the illegal is referred to as an "18-year-old Detroit man" or "Detorit student" rather than as an "18-year-old illegal alien from Colombia" and is referred to only as an "immigrant from Colombia". This follows the linguistic games like that of the Maryland man of MS-13 fame.
So the 18-year-old illegal then gets pulled over, has no driver's license, and then plays the "no speak English" game.
The police call the nearest Spanish-speaking officer to come by and support the stop, who just so happens to be CBP, and they find in no short order that the driver is not just driving illegally, but is in the country illegally.
Apparently as noted in the article some are upset because this is, to them, considered "profiling".
To them, an illegal using tax resources by going to high school here, driving on our roads without even bothering to get a license, which is a misdemeanor in this state, and playing the fool by tailgating cops, is just fine and dandy.
This is not profiling, the fellow was pulled over for a stupid traffic violation and his stupidity then caused things to escalate.
Again, he was found to be driving without a license. He then failed to speak English so the locals called the closest law enforcement officers available who could speak Spanish, who, most fortuitously, happened to be CBP, and lo and behold, the fellow is indeed an illegal, driving illegally.
Oh, and funnily enough he had already been ordered deported and was still remaining in the country illegally, and driving illegally to boot.
It is most likely the people that are angry that someone who is in this country illegally and driving illegally, while already having an order for deportation are likely the same people who were shouting "No one is above the law" just a few short months ago. No one is above the law - in their view except for illegal aliens. Apparently, they can become a "Detroit man" but remain exempt from following the law or consequences for doing so, unlike actual Detroit men.

I don’t think the term “illegal’ has any real meaning anymore. Witness the number of times used in your short post- it means nothing, anymore, to those who flaunt the law, & don’t care one way or another.
doubletrouble: illegal aliens seem to be given a special exemption from following the law by Democrats and progressives.
The term illegal still registers with me. That is because I believe that for every illegal alien we allow to remain in our country, often sucking on the federal teat, that means that a person who tried to do it the right way is blocked.
While it is true that America used to be called a great melting pot, it is also true that the people who came here trying to make a better life for themselves and their families were not interested in making America over into a copy of the country that they had left to come here to pursue that opportunity. They were interested in the freedom to, through hard work and dedication, change their family tree as Dave Ramsey likes to say.
Since Trump was sworn in for his 2nd term I have seen how while he and those who support his agenda are really trying to fix the "ship of state", the fact is that I am beginning to lose my optimism that at this point we can go back in time to a place where freedom and opportunity are available to all. The deep state, which of course includes people on both sides of the aisle, is simply too dug into the gargantuan sea of bureaucracy that rewards only those willing to turn their backs on all that is right and good.
I fear for my grandchildren and what the future holds for them.
