On a hot Wednesday in June, Manuel Rodriguez-Juarez, a 33-year-old landscaper, got into an argument with his live-in girlfriend.

While he waited for her to cool down, he decided to check into a $45-a-night room at a nearby Motel 6 on Maryvale’s southern fringe, where fast-food restaurants and gas stations catering to travelers passing through on Interstate 10 sit alongside neighborhood panaderias and marisquerias.
The front-desk clerk told him that he needed to show identification in order to reserve a room. Rodriguez-Juarez handed over the only thing he had — a Mexican voter ID card.

Six hours later, he was lying on the bed, watching TV, when he heard a knock at the door.

He opened it. Three agents from Immigrations and Customs Enforcement were waiting for him.

When asked, Rodriguez-Juarez admitted that he wasn’t authorized to be in the United States. He’s currently being held at the immigration detention center in Florence while his lawyer, Juan Rocha, tries to get him asylum.

While the case is pending, Rocha is trying to figure out something that’s been bothering him: Did someone at Motel 6 tip off ICE?

There's certainly reason to think so.

What is so surprising? There's always free ICE at hotels. That's why they put that bucket next to the coffee maker.

There is no problem. Someone, and it doesn't matter who it is, reported criminal activity.

Imagine this: I have been a jurist in a trial that led to the incarceration and deportation of a illegal alien man with a home and family. Boom! A stretch in jail, then deportation. NOBODY brought up how "inhumane" it was breaking up this family, it was never a consideration, NOBODY. None of the plaintiffs laywers, none of my fellow jurist (2 were Hispanic), no activist or ACLU. NOBODY. And this was a simple assault. So, WHAT is the big deal deporting illegals under ANY circumstance? For Christ sake, WHAT is the big deal with penalizing people that violate immigration laws? Immigration law applies to ALL groups, and nobody else questions the fairness of immigration laws except the people that violate it in huge numbers, or their enablers that exploit them and pull the strings behind the scenes. Funny thing about that.
