"This is not a green light to intimidate, threaten, or detain anyone merely suspected of being in this country illegally. Mere presence in the U.S. illegally is a crime, but not in itself a felony, so other factors must be present in order to justify a citizens' arrest. In this case, the other factor was the human smuggling," Thomas added.

LOL that's certainly a stretch Mr. Thomas. No where was it ever mentioned that the perp witnessed what he thought was 'human smuggling'. Talk about being soft on crime.

Talk about being soft on crime.

"Soft on crime" is looking the other way while ten million illegals sneak into the country and clutter up our criminal justice system.

Did you read that other post about the percentages of illegals in our prisons?

Soft on crime??? You don't know the whole story; I heard this young hero interviewed on Hannity.

IMO, you're soft in the head and in other places, too.
