Regardless, we are not talking about a U.S. citizen in this case but a person who ignored our laws and overstayed their visa.
Quite a few U.S. Citizens with Latino names or browner skin face the same sort of attention.

Since I rarely carry any identification besides a driver's license when traveling domestically, would CBP just detain me indefinitely, or would they eventually deport me? How would they decide where to deport me to?
