TUCSON - A 23-year-old illegal immigrant woman with three American-born children, including one just three weeks old, will return voluntarily to Mexico after what supporters call a harrowing experience with authorities during a traffic stop.

Miriam Aviles-Reyes and the human rights group Derechos Humanos said Monday a Tucson police officer was abusive and called the Border Patrol without necessary cause.

Tucson police spokesmen denied that Officer James Kneup did anything wrong and said that he was following departmental policy when he pulled a pickup truck over on Dec. 9 after what Lt. Vicki Reza termed a random license plate check.

The check showed that insurance on the vehicle was suspended, and when the driver, Gustavo Reyes, could not produce a valid driver's license and the officer had difficulty communicating with him or his pregnant wife and children inside the truck, Kneup called the Border Patrol, Reza said.

This is a direct result of the Ramos-Campeon fiasco. These illegals know that if that make accusations, there will be an investigation and they might possibly be able to sue!
