Florida Cops Turn Traffic Stops Into Deportations

LAKE WORTH, Fla.—Master Sgt. Tony Kingery of the Florida Highway Patrol was driving through a commercial district one recent morning looking for immigrants in the U.S. illegally when he spotted a white van missing its front bumper. He tailed the vehicle, flashed his lights and pulled it over.

Kingery told the driver about the bumper and a broken taillight and asked for his driver’s license. The driver, who was Hispanic, didn’t speak English. He handed over a Guatemalan consular identification card.
