Why do you think he’s illegal?

The article did not say. Had he been legal with a name like Jorge the article would have said he was legal.
Not necessarily.
Why do you assume that? If the name was John Smith, would they say “John Smith, legal US resident”? How do you know he isn’t a third generation American? I have NEVER seen a news article that named a legal or illegal status on every single person who caused an accident or committed a crime. I have a friend whose last name is Garcia, first name *very* Hispanic. His family has been here for over a century.
