Fiat tried to come back to the states, but they are crashing and going bankrupt in the states. Nobody wants such a tiny car. Now without dealer support parts are going to become scarce. All in all its a bad vehicle.
I think his choice of a car is proof he wasn't smuggling anyone since its hard to hide anything.

If you come across a border patrol agent on the road and they stop you, they have the authority to charge you for bringing in and harboring migrants, even if that is not the case. It is important to clarify that this is not a new law implemented by President Trump, but rather a practice that has been in place since the previous administration.
I had a friend who is a US citizen. She gave her undocumented friend a ride to Los Angeles, and they encountered a checkpoint. They tried to charge her with smuggling charges, even though that was not the case. Mind you, this occurred during the Obama presidency.
It is important to note that immigration has jurisdiction within 100 miles of the border, including coastal areas. It is advisable to also review local State laws as they may impact you. Also, make a conscious effort to minimize driving with individuals who are undocumented, as this situation could potentially affect any one of us.

Very true, they are going to try to claim he was smuggling someone but they were probably just traveling as family/friends.
The worst part is that [faux news, OAN, and newsmax] all trash tabloid-esque medias are going to try to go "SEE! They are SMUGGLERS and DRUG RUNNERS! and probably TERRORISTS TOO!"
