Border Agent Arrest Aboard Greyhound Bus Triggers Outcry
« on: January 23, 2018, 09:37:15 pm »
A woman from Jamaica who overstayed her tourist visa was removed from a Greyhound bus in Florida by border agents who allegedly asked riders to provide identification — prompting an outcry from immigration advocates who questioned the legality of the inspection.

The Florida Immigrant Coalition posted video of the Friday encounter on its Facebook page Saturday. The 2-minute clip shows two uniformed US Border Patrol officers taking a woman into custody as shocked passengers look on during a stop along the Orlando-to-Miami route.

“This is new?” one woman asks another passenger.

“I’m offended,” said another passenger, who apparently took out her phone to document the incident. “Legitimately.”

"The Border Patrol agents also demanded proof of citizenship from all passengers on the bus during what was billed as a “routine inspection,” according to the immigrant group."

While I have no problem with this woman being caught overstaying her visa, "if" that is true, that all passengers were demanded by the agents to prove their citizenship, then yes I would have a problem with that part of the inspection. This wasn't at a boarder crossing FWIW.

They can set up a stop anywhere within 100 mile of the us boarder.   That make almost All of FL fair game!

I'm pretty sure they can set one up anywhere they want.   Doesn't mean I'll cooperate

This is shocking! They could only find one illegal on a Greyhound bus? Illegals and degenerates are the only ones who take the bus.

Even if you assume the border starts at the 12 mile offshore international boundary and not at the coast line, Ft Lauderdale sits on the coast and is well within the remaining 78 miles.
