REPORT: America's most famous undocumented immigrant has been taken into custody at Texas airport

Activists who were working with immigration reform advocate Jose Antonio Vargas near the U.S.-Mexico border in Texas released a statement Tuesday saying he was arrested while attempting to pass through security at McAllen-Miller International Airport.

"Jose Antonio Vargas of Define American, has been detained by Border Patrol in McAllen after attempting to board a plane to Los Angeles," the immigrant youth-led organization United We Dream said in a statement on its website.

Huffington Post reporter Ryan Grim subsequently tweeted a photo he described as Vargas "in handcuffs." Grim told Business Insider he obtained the picture from "a source."

Vargas is perhaps America's most prominent undocumented immigrant. A former reporter who was part of the Washington Post team that won a 2008 Pulitzer Prize for reporting on the Virginia Tech shooting the prior year, Vargas revealed his undocumented status in a New York Times Magazine essay published June 22, 2011.

He traveled to Texas last week to promote the efforts of UWD and other immigration-reform groups to stand in solidarity with the unaccompanied children, before realizing it was within a secure perimeter manned by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents where he might not be able to leave without documentation.

Vargas tweeted Tuesday morning that he was going to attempt to pass through security at the airport. Cristina Jimenez, the managing director of United We Dream, told Business Insider that Vargas was attempting to fly to Los Angeles to attend a screening of his documentary that aired last month on CNN. He said he had no identification other than his "Philippine passport and my pocketbook US Constitution."

"I don’t know what’s going to happen," Vargas wrote.

He encouraged readers to follow the official account of Define American, the pro-immigration reform organization he founded, for further updates. Vargas has not sent out any other Twitter updates, but Define American sent a message saying he was "detained" and was "being taken to the mcallen border patrol station." They included a link to a donation page encouraging supporters to "stand with Jose and the #BorderChildren."

Business Insider called the U.S. Customs and Border Protection station in McAllen to confirm Vargas was taken into custody. We were referred to sector headquarters in Edinburgh, Texas, where the person who answered the phone said they could not release any information about Vargas.

"The federal government does not give any information on individual detainees over the phone, not even to attorneys," they said.

In his original 2011 essay, Vargas said being undocumented meant living in "fear."

"It means going about my day in fear of being found out. It means rarely trusting people, even those closest to me, with who I really am. It means keeping my family photos in a shoebox rather than displaying them on shelves in my home, so friends don’t ask about them. It means reluctantly, even painfully, doing things I know are wrong and unlawful," Vargas wrote at the time.

After coming out as an undocumented immigrant, Vargas founded Define American and has discussed his experiences in pieces written for multiple news outlets and in a CNN documentary that debuted last month. Vargas originally traveled to the border in support the groups to highlight the stories of unaccompanied children who have fled countries in Central America because of increased levels of gang violence. The organizations have been volunteering in shelters that provide support to children and families.

[PredFan]

Deport his sorry ass.

 

[R.D.]

Buh bye

 

[DigitalDrifter]

This is the guy who's been real mouthy, practically daring the feds to arrest him.

 

[Howey]

Dupe thread And he's already been released.

 

[Missouri_Mike]

Dupe thread And he's already been released.

And you're happy about that why?

See the other thread.


btw...you dumbasses think he's a messican dontcha?

 

[Jughead]

What was he thinking? He's an illegal, and has been travelling (flying) across the country without valid documentation. Sooner or later the law of averages was bound to catch up with him, and it did, and he got arrested. Although he's been released, the fact that he was arrested will make it hard for him to ever acquire legal status. Not very smart on his part.

 

[Gracie]

My question is..why is he still here in the USA if he is an illegal?
Try driving without a license and see where your ass winds up. Try passing bad checks. Try getting busted smoking some dope in states where it is not legal. Try breaking the law. So why is this guy STILL HERE?

Due Process? Equal Protection Under the Laws?

Don't get me wrong, I believe he should be sent back...but as long as the laws are the way they are...he has the right to remain free until his hearing. The same as someone who breaks the law and is set free on bond.

Yeah, they should have arrested him when he came out on CNN while he was plugging his documentary. I wonder if the feds will go after all of the companies that hired him...

But, in the end, they won't send him back. He is the poster child for immigration reform. He is gay, a success, and not Mexican.

 

[Gracie]

He is illegal. He needs to be sent packing.

 

[KissMy]

If he want's to stay make him pay $50k.

Otherwise ship his ass away.

There needs to be an admission fee to become a citizen of our great country.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Ah man, I thought this was a thread about Obama being arrested. Damn.

 

[R.C. Christian]

Deport his sorry ass.

Only after we torture his ass. We can make him listen to Polka music all night and day while injecting his sphincter with hot sauce!

I hear he also lied on some forms by claiming that he was a U.S. citizen. This coupled with the fact that he was arrested means that he will be deported back to the Philippines. No way would DHS let him stay. Criminals are generally not eligible for adjustment of status.

I would feel a lot better if natural Americans got all the due process that the illegal has received.

If that jerk can travel all over America on jets the way he has, why are native Americans putting up with airports being more like county jails for them?

Apparently you didn't read the article as your mocking laughter suggests so you didn't notice how the arrest was by his own design.

You don't give the left enough credit. This guy will not be sent back...no matter how many laws he has broken. He is going to be the poster child for amnesty. (You are not going to be able to trust the conservatives on this one either...its election year. America has been set up by the liberals...forcing some sort of reform/ amnesty - because once Obama is a lame duck and the GOP takes over the Senate, the people are going to expect results, not obstructionism, not rhetoric...solutions. When the teapers ruin that...guess what happens...President Hillary Clinton .

Denounce the Tea Party today, they are destroying this nation!
