It often happens nowadays that Hispanics/Latinos will use the victim/race card to defend everything they do and make the evil LEO the bad guy. This is so questionable.

Yet another good reason to cut Puerto Rico and the rest of the US "territories" loose.

The race card is good only as much as anyone pays attention to it. There is absolutely no reason why race should be any kind of issue in enforcing against illegal immigration. Language is more important and language should not be the first point of enforcement either. But if you can't speak English, you cannot be a US citizen.
