ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - A traffic stop that led to the deportation of two illegal immigrants raises serious questions about whether detained aliens are being informed of their rights under an international treaty, according to Mexico's consul in Albuquerque.
Consul Gustavo de Unánue said he now wants to see documentation that the civil rights of illegal immigrants from Mexico are not being violated.
According to the Mexican Consulate on July 9 an Albuquerque police officer pulled over a man and his sister and said they were speeding.
De Unánue said after the officer asked for the man’s driver’s license, registration and insurance he asked about the pair’s citizenship. De Unánue said the officer then called Border Patrol.
Soon after the federal agents arrived the sibling’s parents drove up and that is when their father’s citizenship was questioned.
