Here’s the question about the bus that was pulled over in Alamance County for a safety violation and found to be carrying seven illegal immigrants: Who called Immigration and Customs Enforcement?

It is unclear why ICE was involved in the stopped or who called them to assist. Gonzalez said ICE was contacted by the state Highway Patrol. However, Highway Patrol officials at the scene said they were not the ones who called federal authorities.

“The Highway Patrol’s main concern is for the passengers’ safety,” Brewer said. “The legality of the passengers … is the federal government’s business.”

The message is getting more every day: If you don’t have your papers, stay out of Alamance County. Some people think that’s a negative message.
