EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14) — The Border Network For Human Rights is filing a lawsuit in the case of a local man who is fighting deportation.

Jesus Vasquez was pulled over by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers earlier this month on Greg Street near Mountain View High School.

The agency said Vasquez, 22, was pulled over for having windows that were too darkly tinted, but it was later determined Vasquez didn’t have a driver’s license.

Border Patrol agents were called in to assist, and they detained Vasquez for violating immigration laws.

Vasquez was later released from detention and is scheduled for deportation proceedings.

The Border Network for Human Rights announced it will be filing a civil rights lawsuit on behalf of Vasquez to fight his deportation.

"The traffic violation should have resulted in the issuing of a citation in a court setting. Rather, it resulted in an unlawful search of his vehicle and resulted in what they perceive to be proof of foreign nationality and therefore a call to the Border Patrol,” said Carlos Spector, Vasquez's attorney.

Spector says they are waiting for a hearing to be scheduled. He said as of right now, Vasquez gets to stay in the country and cannot be deported.

Although the Border Network For Human Rights calls Vasquez a "dreamer," in reference to the Dream Act, which would grant immigrants such as him lawful status, he doesn’t meet the requirements.

Family and friends said Vasquez dropped out of school in 10th grade, and records show he was arrested in 2014 on charges of failure to attend school.

Fly a Judge down there and deport him tomorrow.

GET HIM OUT NOW.

Get rid of him, ship him back to where ever he came from.

You are in violation of immigration laws and should not be allowed to see a judge

DO IT BY SKYPE...THEN DEPORT HIM.

This "I'm special" crap has got to stop! If an American gets caught driving with no license it's jail time. When you get booked they look at your criminal record... PERIOD. This guy would have been picked up any way you look at it, he has no legal recourse. EVERYTHING about his life is illegal, everything.

Trust me Nomas..... I have been there myself.

Not only did I get arrested (more than once) for having either an expired or suspended license, but
the police also impounded my car every time.

Okay folks, what am I missing here? Maybe I misunderstood or misheard, but I could have swore I heard Trump say the day of catch & release was over. If that's true, how come I keep hearing about these continuous releases? I expect our President to say what he means and mean what he says! Over the last week or so, I've heard of several illegals being released pending a court date.

The Catch and Release program that Trump ended is the Catch and Release Border Policy on the border or within close proximity of the border. There is another release policy for the interior that is determined by the immigration courts who set bonds and so forth pending a Deportation Hearing. It's very understandable that it's confusing. Here's the contents of the EO that addressed border agents "Catch and Release".

What's in Trump's executive orders on immigration

President Donald Trump announced two executive orders he signed Wednesday, pledging in a speech at the Department of Homeland Security that his national security agency will save lives and enforce laws.

“For too long your office’s agents haven’t been allowed to properly do their jobs,” Trump said. “You know that, right? Do you know that? Absolutely. But that’s all about to change.”

The key components of the executive orders that Trump maintained “will save thousands of lives, millions of jobs and billions and billions of dollars” call for:

Securing the southern U.S. border “through immediate construction of a physical wall” to stop illegal immigration, the flow of drugs, human trafficking and acts of terrorism
Detaining “individuals apprehended on suspicions of” law breaking and expedition of claims of their eligibility to stay in the U.S.
Swift deportation of “individuals whose legal claims to remain in the United States have been lawfully rejected”
DHS Secretary John Kelly to “take all appropriate steps to immediately plan, design and construct” the wall
Projections for “long-term funding requirements,” including the preparation of congressional budget requests for current and future fiscal years
Completion of a “comprehensive study” of the southern border’s security to completed within the next 180 days
Construction and operation of detention facilities at or near the border
Termination of the catch-and-release border policy, a directive to Border Patrol agents not to arrest and deport illegal immigrants
Repatriation of immigrants who have been deported
The hiring of 5,000 Border Patrol officers and the tripling of the number of ICE officers
A report of “Federal aid or assistance” to the Mexican government over the past five years to be completed within 30 days
Termination of “the abuse of parole and asylum provisions currently used to prevent the lawful removal of removable aliens”
A public monthly report “on aliens apprehended at or near the southern border”
Crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities, locales that don’t prosecute immigrants for living in the country illegally
Denial of federal funds to “jurisdictions that fail to comply with” federal law, unless deemed necessary
“Prompt removal” of immigrants who have been ordered to leave the country
A DHS office whose aim is to support “victims of crime committed by removable aliens and the family members of such victims”

Why did he drop out of high school?

So the American people can pay his welfare benefits for the next 65 years?
