On a hot Wednesday in June, Manuel Rodriguez-Juarez, a 33-year-old landscaper, got into an argument with his live-in girlfriend.
While he waited for her to cool down, he decided to check into a $45-a-night room at a nearby Motel 6 on Maryvales southern fringe, where fast-food restaurants and gas stations catering to travelers passing through on Interstate 10 sit alongside neighborhood panaderias and marisquerias.
The front-desk clerk told him that he needed to show identification in order to reserve a room. Rodriguez-Juarez handed over the only thing he had a Mexican voter ID card.
Six hours later, he was lying on the bed, watching TV, when he heard a knock at the door.
He opened it. Three agents from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement were waiting for him.
When asked, Rodriguez-Juarez admitted that he wasnt authorized to be in the United States. Hes currently being held at the immigration detention center in Florence while his lawyer, Juan Rocha, tries to get him asylum.
While the case is pending, Rocha is trying to figure out something thats been bothering him: Did someone at Motel 6 tip off ICE?
There's certainly reason to think so.

Still, he added, Ill tell you one goddamned thing for sure Im not staying at a Motel 6 from now on.

As they say in Mexico.. Adios Amigo!
Dang straight. I don't care if Holiday Inn Express makes ya smarter, Motel 6 is my layover from here on out.
What do you call an attorney buried underneath a Motel 6?
just to brow beat us into immigration submission
And as you’re being deported, keep in mind that they WILL leave the light on for ya.
LOL.......
Good on the dude at Motel 6 - they may be leaving their light on for me in the future.
>>Just a guess, but Ill bet this Motel 6 & the other that was reporting the illegals was owned by a LEGAL immigrant from India. He was probably pissed off that he went through the process & these illegals didnt.
I agree. In my experience, no one hates illegal INVADERS more than legal IMMIGRANTS.
We need more of those calls to ICE.
Sorry about that. Apparently the URL has changed for some reason. Let’s try this:
bttt!
Don’t knock it ... Motel 6 advertises a “clean comfortable room” and that’s exactly what you get. And no more. When you need a place to flop for the night on a long road trip, it’s perfect.
Were paying for that lawyer.””
Cheaper than another 40 years of welfare payments, etc.
I left the party because of abortion, illegal immigration, and weakness on Islamic terrorism. I would financially support third party. I don’t get support for GOP dem lite
The lawyer is trying to keep him here!
You're paying for him and he's working against your interests.

Nobody gets more pissed off about Illegal Immigrants than Legal Immigrants.
In its early days, Motel 6 was a nice clean place to stay. The last one I stayed at was in 2001 in San Diego, which was filled to the brim with Crips gang members who partied in the back parking lot -- complete with lookouts in a low rider at the corner.
All eyes were on us as we drove over to our room. We went inside, turned the lights out and waited for the group to leave (it was around midnight,) at which point we left the room key cards on the table and split.
Since that time our rule is: Three stars or we stay home.
