Captan a Inmigración pidiendo ‘papeles’ en un bus Greyhound en Florida (VIDEO)
Redacción MundoHispánico
Posted 5 horas ago

Un video grabado por un pasajero de un autobús Greyhound muestra a un agente de Aduanas y Protección de Fronteras de EE.UU (CBP) pidiendo documentos a una mujer para probar si tenía estatus legal en el país.

El video fue publicado por la organización activista Coalición de Inmigrantes de Florida, que informó a su vez que la parada ocurrió el viernes a las 4:30 de la tarde, hora local, en Fort Lauderdale.
