Lady Talk-A-Lot needs to mind her own business. There is a time for open defiance of authority, but this wasn’t one of them. How many MS13 connections on that bus did she protect from detection? How many unhealthy, uneducated illegals?

[CivilWarBrewing]

She spoke in English? WTF?

Arrest her for obstruction of justice.

I don’t know. I was stopped at the El Paso check point inside the US years ago. I’m whiter than white and was in the Marine Corps Reserve at the time and they were going to detain me. The only thing that got me through was my US passport. They would NOT accept my military ID. I had a reserve ID and a military dependents ID. Check point within US borders for any purpose are contrary to the 4th, even DUI check points, though the court says otherwise.

And yet there’s no video

Not sure I believe this story at all

Daily Mail is a wellspring of sensationalized news stories cobbled together and juxtaposed to make the U.S. and Trump look bad, to make Hollywood look wise and deep, to showcase Meghan Markle and their defective monarchy, and to pop the occasional giant zit. The takeaway message here is that Trump and his supporters are nazis rounding up innocent brown people. The legalities of highway checkpoints along human smuggling routes isn't relevant.

There are Border Patrol check points on all 3 freeways going out of San Diego County, but they are all within 100 miles of the Border.

[SkyDancer]

We have Border Patrol SUV’s along state HWY 104 on the Olympic Peninsula - we’re hours away from the Canadian border.

[BBell]

Cool! Fight the encroaching military state lady. In our quest for PC we leave common sense at the door.

[Regulator]

The woman is correct about BP being outside of the 100 mi statutory buffer zone, but her logic is the undoing of the nation.

If it’s “racist” to pursue and apprehend those here illegally, then there are no borders.

And “hispanic” is not a race, it’s not even an ethnicity. It’s a linguistic cohort. Blonde, blue eyed Spaniards (and there are millions of them) have no genetic relationship at all to the average Mestizo...they share only a language.

Having a border and enforcing it is not “racist”.

[Theoria]

Border patrol hang out at the Texas/LA line on I-10. I guess since they are with a 'few' miles near a port they can pull ya over?

The Brits would have loved the powers we have given .gov from back in the day.

Some of the comments here are appallingly in support of totalitarianism.

I heard there was probable cause on the bus. Some guy in seat 5A was reading the book “How to Scale Really High Walls”, a lady in seat 17C was cooking tacos, and a Mariachi Band was playing in seats 22A, B & C.

[Socon-Econ]

So the DailyMail got its headline. That’s not going to deter us from catching illegals the right way.

[bgill]

Wimpy BP. Need firing.

[MarkL]

I believe that the SCOTUS has ruled that when a sworn police officer (and that would include federal officers, like ICE) demands to see your identification, you can be detained without arrest, until your identity has been confirmed.

Or am I wrong?

[Vendome]

She’s totally right and they are not authorized to pull this.

[pfflier]

...they demanded to see everyone's documents......................

What part of that is profiling? They specifically asked everyone not selected illegals and SJWs.

[Ozark Tom]

Chaperone???

[blueplum]

the state-line between Nevada and California is a border - a state border. And within 100 aeronautical miles of the international border.

I get the point about the bus needing a ticket to get on, and so ‘not open to the public’. The leos should have asked the bus driver to debark his passengers.

[Mastador1]

Actually it all depends on exactly how far from the border they were/are.
