“We are being boarded by Border Patrol. Please be prepared to show your documentation upon request,” the driver said, according to her June 7 Facebook post, written a day after the incident.
An unabashed Smalls, who knew her rights, immediately sprang into action, informing other passengers that the agents’ actions were illegal.
“This is a violation of your 4th amendment rights. You don’t have to show them *s- -t*!!! This is illegal,” she said, according to her Facebook post.
…She even used Google translate to help her deliver the same message in Spanish.
Smalls said the woman seated next to her, who didn’t speak English, “looked terrified.”
Smalls loudly accused the agents of harassment and racial profiling, exclaiming they had “no legal right or jurisdiction here,” she wrote in the Facebook post.
Her resistance paid off — the Border Patrol agents allegedly retreated and told the bus driver to “go ahead.”
Go Girl!
