Truck driver forced to show birth certificate claims racial-profiling
PHOENIX – A Valley man says he was pulled over Wednesday morning and questioned when he arrived at a weigh station for his commercial vehicle along Val Vista and the 202 freeway.
Abdon, who did not want to use his last name, says he provided several key pieces of information but what he provided apparently was not what was needed.
He tells 3TV, “I don't think it's correct, if I have to take my birth certificate with me all the time.”
3TV caught up with Abdon after he was released from the Immigration and Customs Enforcement office in central Phoenix. He and his wife, Jackie, are still upset about what happened to him.
Jackie tells 3TV, “It's still something awful to be targeted. I can't even imagine what he felt, people watching like he was some type of criminal.”
THIS TRUCKER WAS BORN IN FRESNO CALIFORNIA AND THE ONLY REASON HE WAS DETAINED WAS BECAUSE OF HOW HE LOOKED... NOT AMERICAN ENOUGH? WTF... WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PEOPLE !
NO COMMENT... TOO ANGRY TO COMMENT
UPDATE: I guess he was guilty of DWA (Driving While American), LLM (Looking Like a Mexican), and SWA (Speaking With an Accent)
