A Phoenix trucker driver was detained at a weigh station after being unable to produce his birth certificate. Agents then called his wife, who left her job to retrieve his birth certificate and social security card. Both the driver and his wife were born in the United States.
Abdon was told he did not have enough paperwork on him when he pulled into a weigh station to have his commercial truck checked. He provided his commercial driver’s license and a social security number but ended up handcuffed.
