It doesn't matter how they caught her, she is here illegally and now must go.
“During the stop, authorities said the 19-year-old, who is in the country illegally, didn’t have a proper driver’s license and was taken into custody”
…and there you go. What the article is saying imo is that she’s been successfully evading arrest without breaking any laws except being here illegally and not having a “proper” drivers license. It’s not her fault she was wrongfully pulled over.
HELLO!! Shes an ILLEGAL. Deport her and her criminal family who have lived at our expense for 20 years!
“Her family’s technically: per the article (after the excerpt), she entered the country illegally with her family in 2010, when she was 4.
(Which, granted, makes you wonder why she has an International Driver’s Permit at all...)”
IDP are only issued when you present a valid foreign drivers license to the issuing board. So she must have had a Mexico DL. Georgia doesn’t issue foreign nationals drivers license, however Mexico will issue a DL to one of its citizens living in the USA or any other country. The 30 day residence requirement does not apply to foreign nationals and the IDP is valid for 366 days. The crime was being illegally present in the USA. She is a DACA kid having been brought here as a minor she had no choice in the matter. The responsibility falls to her parents she doesn’t have a home in Mexico he has only.lived here since she was 4. It’s up to Mexico to provide for her when she is repatriated.
I routinely renew my IDP you need it to rent a vehicle anywhere in the EU or the UK. Fun fact Texas Class C DLs are considered commercial operators licences in the EU and you can drive C class and up to C1E with trailer limit is 12,000Kg. Regular EU class B is max 3500Kg and 750Kg trailer that’s smaller than a Ford Ranger and the smallest class 1 hitch. You must test for, and work for a commercial operations to hold amy thing above a B in the EU so you have to be a commercial operator drive even a F150 class truck or up. They all are commercial large goods class. This fact is why every time I go to the UK my hosts who do not have class C licences always ask me to rent a LGV so they can have me use it with them to move or tow things. It’s hard to get and hold a operators licence.
“They are only good for 6 months”
No IDP are good for 365 days I keep one for world travels up to date ever 365 days.
You can rent a vehicle with a IDP and your foreign DL, you also can state register a vehicle using a LLC or S Corp incorporated either here with foreign ownership or incorporated in a foreign country. I have two vehicles registered and plated in WY to a LLC out of Wyoming because Texas won’t title or plate then but Texas must recognize WY plates due to reciprocity. I am about to go to Mexico and get a BYD register it in that same LLC ,plate it in Mexico and drive it across the border it’s a corporate vehicle then ,and Texas cannot via NAFTA say it can’t be here.
There are ways for her to have a vehicle registered, she could have had Mexican plates as well as Mexico will issue its citizens driver’s license and plates even if they are here Mexico enables expats in every way they can.
4 important things that the news story fails to address straightforwardly.
1. Did she have vehicle registration?
2. Did she have proper vehicle insurance?
3. Did she have a legal drivers license according to the laws of the State?
4. Did she have lawful presence in the US? If this is in question then what was her I94 expiration date?
You can drive on an international license from another country. In Georgia, that license is good for only one year so how long had she been driving with it and where did she get it? From Mexico? So, she crossed the border how many times? Each time was another crime. Don’t play innocent, girly. Deport her, her father and everyone else in the family.
I had an international driver’s license when I was stationed in Italy - if you have a ,license from your country, you take a short class to bone up on signs/laws in the country you’re visiting and they issue the international license.
Not her mistake, she was four years old when her parents brought her. I do feel sorry for the girl.
True.
When I moved back I never bothered to get one. I had a US license and a foreign license. I always kept my foreign one for when I was driving someone else’s car and got pulled over.
So she’s as an illegal, driving without a license. Deportation sounds like the logical next step.
The whole worthless family are illegal alien invaders. They have been parasites for many years. Everything they have done is illegal. Get OUT!
When I was stationed in Italy in 76 they asked, do you want one and an Italian license? I said sure and they cost a couple of dollars.
Being from NYC at the time I had never drove before and it took me about 6 months and 2 wrecked cars to get my US military license 🙃
It’s super maddening to get caught by mistake.
The mistake was initially hers by coming here illegally and then staying here.
Suppose she robbed a bank instead, and then spent some of the money at a local store. Now suppose that the store owner "mistakenly" thought the cash was counterfeit and called the FBI. The FBI determines from the serial numbers that the cash is legitimate but was reported stolen from a bank. The FBI tracks down the woman and arrests her for robbing the bank. Finding her to be here illegally, the FBI refers her to ICE for deportation.
Does the woman fight deportation on the basis that the store owner was mistaken that the cash was counterfeit and shouldn't have called the FBI?

The stop may have been an error, but identifying her as here illegally was not.
A document that costs you $5 At any AAA. Last trip to Europe the rental agency insisted I get one; no one ever asked for it.
Me: Judge, everyone was going faster than me. Why was I singled out?
Judge: The officer caught you.
That’s an excellent point and no one has made that…except maybe Stephen Miller.
