He might be lying about the stories, those who told him stories might be lying, and he doesn't mention the high probability that those who told him those stories were confused for one reason or another. For instance, a few years ago L.A.'s mayor - former leader of an extremist group - spoke out against raids he claimed were happening in L.A. county. Only problem: no raids were happening, they were only taking place 100 miles south.

  First we must understand the allegation. To be valid it must be that the police in Irving are arresting people of Latin heritage without probable cause they have violated the law. That would indeed be wrong. However, simply reporting the arrests of peole of Latin heritage who are legally arrested and then unable to document that they are legally in this country is a different matter entirely. That's simply following the law which is what police are supposed to do.

  Why would Irving have a higher proportion of cases referred to ICE and resulting in deportation  than other jurisdictions? One possible explanation is that they are targeting people of Latin heritage for wrongful arrests. Of course, other explanations exist such as the possibility that Irving has a higher proportion of people unlawfully in the country than other jurisdictions (Not unlikely as it is centrally located in a large metropolitan area with lots of jobs) or that the Irving police are more thorough in following the law other departments. (Likely and while some may object to that it is certainly lawful) or Irving could simply have more crime than most other jurisdictions -- or it could be a combination of any of the factors in this paragraph.

   In the absence of a single documented case of anyone being arrested unlawfully and relying only on the assertion of political activists making hearsay claims it seems odd to assume these allegations are true when one just yesterday was ready to credit the assertion that voter fraud is virtually nonexistent in the United States.

  With both  cops in Texas and open borders advocates it's hard to find much basis for trust and I have little trouble believing that people who look Latino are more frequently stopped for trivial offenses than are white looking folks. It happens every day to people who have darker skin -- or just look younger and more like troublemakers just about every place.
