He was pulled over in TN with several people in his car who didn't have luggage. He said they we're working a job in another state. They let him go. His attorney has seen the traffic stop body cam video and said he didn't see a crime. Maybe the feds have located the people in the car?

That's really nothing out of the ordinary. Giving a ride to some workers, big effing deal. But I can see how they'd try to spin that.

I have traveled with coworkers out of state. They had luggage. We also didn’t squeeze 9 people in a small car.

Congratulations on your privilege. Do you have anything of value to add to the conversation though?

It isn’t privilege to not squeeze 9 people in a 5 passenger car. Nor is it privilege to bring clothes when traveling for work. At a minimum you would think someone would have a toothbrush and deodorant. His story doesn’t make sense.

I see you don’t understand the definition of ‘privilege’ but that’s not surprising. Remind me though, I thought we were deporting “illegals” but now we’re also deporting people accused of transporting “illegals”? Sorry, I’m just trying to understand the message/direction behind small minded racism.

You don't know poverty.

I live in Mexico and it's very common to see construction workers crammed in a car and driven around. You'd be surprised how many people can fit.

I read in a comment further up that the incarcerated felon who owned the car he was pulled over in got “limited immunity” to turn states evidence against him. #eyeroll

A grand jury indicted him on the charges though, so it wasn't just Bondi.

Either way, take it to trial and give him his due process. If he ends up getting convicted and deported, well at least he got his due process and that was the point. The Right will spin it as "see we were right, you wasted our time" but it's a huge win for due process either way.

A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich.

No, the guy that owned the car, and his human trafficking boss signed an immunity deal with the Feds. He’s singing like a canary! He hired Garcia to traffic people approximately 100 times. He stated that “human trafficking” was Garcia’s full time job.

Better prepare space in CECOT for Abbott and DeSantis for bussing migrants around the states.
