2 American women detained after speaking Spanish in Montana file suit

NBCLatino I knew it!!! The heavy metals in the drinking water in Montana from all that mining is destroying their brains!

realDonaldTrump ABC It’s Stormy’s fault is she a Russian spy fake news?

The Border Agent was just doing his job. The Spanish girls are trying to get money for doing nothing. USA is an English speaking country. If you live another country: you are supposed to learn the language of the land. In France: if you do NOT speak French - they get mad at you.

Is this a case of a over zealous border control agent? Or... something more nefarious and duplicitous? Billy Jay

I sure hope they sue theshit out of them!

Speaking Italian will be next

genetic_warrior You’re not protecting any boarder when you’re harassing and violating peoples rights. 🍕💩 officers need to be fired and they should retrain the rest of their unprofessional officers.

Speaking while brown is the crime here?

RepAOC The guy looks more mexican than Pancho Villa with that mustache and yet questions the ladies because they spoke Spanish. This is to demonstrate how bias CBP is against latinos within the united states.

Montana where men are men and sheep are nervous!

The case will get through out of court as they were called to investigate it is not like any of the illegals wear a form of I.D. The best they could do is their jobs and do all the correct background checks and then let them go.

The ACLU is a total waste of taxpayers money. They should be defunded.

Everyone wants to sue over any non-damaging mistake: suing the govt., is suing taxpayers. What happen to I ( we) made a mistake.

You've got to be kidding me! That's racial profiling! If it's not would you detain my great-grandmother, born and raised in NM, who prefers to speak Spanish than English? No, you wouldn't. Because she's WHITE! I hope the ACLU wins!

US might be racially diverse but It is still a white man's country.White men predominately write the rules(legislative branch), interpret these rules( judicial branch) and enforces it( police). Non are representative of American social diversity.

Love the ACLU. I am a proud card carrying member.

It’s America, our language is English. Once they were identified they were let go, your story is bullshit and inflammatory. This is a perfect example of bias news reporting on the main reason that a lot of us have turned you off. How is your ratings while airing news ?

Remind me to always speak English and without an accent.

For those of you who don’t know: Havre, Montana is 10 miles from the U.S/Canadian border which also means USCBP officers have the right to question, ask for ID and even detain based on reasonable suspicion—which hearing someone speaking in a foreign language satisfies.

That is ridiculously stupid and wrong! We should accept all people and embrace all languages, especially the most per capita in America, because maybe it is just all of God's plan that multiculturalism only works in America, and everyone will be here eventually if we all believe.

Seriously this is getting out of hand

Now Xenoglossophobia has hit Montana. What's next?

This is all too much

Fake. It was a set up.

Tell me again why did Congress approve more funding for Trump’s Gestapo?
