From Channel 8 KLAS News: "A bus filled with nearly 60 people was parked in front of the American Lion and Tufesa bus station. It was headed through Arizona and Mexico.
At 8:30 a.m., several unmarked vans and vehicles pulled up and officers in plain clothes boarded the bus.
Rogelio Gaytan, the bus station owner, saw the raid. "They started asking for documents from the people and the people who couldn't prove they had legal papers to be in the U.S. were taken away," he said.
Gaytan approached the officers and asked for their identification and they refused to comply. Sixteen people were escorted into vans and taken away."
But you have an liberal idiot who wants his 15 seconds of fame: Michael Flores, with Progressive Now, heard of the raid and arrived on scene. It was then that the officers identified themselves as agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection Agency out of Yuma, Arizona.
They told Flores they were there to catch smugglers and check for drug activity. Flores said they did not confirm whether drugs were found, but that they did take those 16 people away.
"This is Nevada. This is not Arizona. They have no right to be here and enforcing their laws here," he said. http://www.8newsnow.com/Global/story.asp?S=12895885
Hey moron Flores, these were Federal officers doing their job. Their jurisdiction is the United States. Can you be more stupid?
I am glad that this raid was held. There is also a bus station on Eastern and Washington that has buses that go from Las Vegas to El Paso and Juarez. Stop by their some time and you will have a field day.
I wonder if these busts are politically related. Earlier this week, ICE said they were going to local jails and deport illegals that have been arrested and now this. Can it be an election year stunt? I hope not and I hope these kind of raids continue.

Mr. Flores, If you were not aware, Federal Agents/Officers enforce federal laws, not state laws. The jurisdiction for these Agents/Officers are the United States. If you would like to educate yourself on these laws I recommend you hit the library and lookup authorities. I recommend you look at Section 8 of the United States Code (USC).
ReplyDeleteSomeone should get a spell check for the idiot who commented on Feb. 26 @ 11:12pm. They are here "illegally", a law has been broken, and they tend to end up with an Americans social number. They also hold every level of local government jobs. How else do you think they know so very well how to use our welfare system that the rest of us can't touch? By the way, before you label me racist; I am not white.
