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.

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.

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

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.

Great idea, Beezer!!! SKYPE AND DEPORT! SKYPE AND DEPORT!!! SKYPE AND DEPORT!!!!

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

Why did he drop out of high school?

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