Family Torn Apart as Mother & 2 Children Deported After Arizona Traffic Stop



An undocumented Venezuelan mother and two of her children were deported to Mexico earlier this month — just hours after a minor traffic stop, reports John Washington, who has covered the case for the Tucson-based independent outlet Arizona Luminaria. Arizona Public Safety troopers claimed the mother was driving under the speed limit. The troopers called Border Patrol agents, who apprehended the woman and her two children and later turned them over to Mexican immigration officials in the border city of Nogales before they were put on a bus and driven about 2,000 miles away to the southern Mexican state of Tabasco.

We also speak with immigrant rights activist Greisa Martínez Rosas, executive director of United We Dream Action, who says Democrats share the blame for harmful immigration policies now reaching new heights under the Trump administration. "We need a true opposition power and party," she says.

This is exactly what MAGAts voted for. The more cruel and inhumane the more they like it. Especially if its women and children suffering.

magats are using the cops to hurt people they don't like.
The official line used by the fascist authorities now is that all Venezuelans are gang members.
