More Roundup on Illegal Border Patrol agent Smuggling aliens

From the local NBC affiliate

AP Wire from Contra Costa times with a few more details: Border Patrol agent charged with smuggling, faking citizenship



Some background here.



In my opinion, every Border Patrol agent needs to know the following spanish:



"Alto!" (Halt)

"Pone sus manos en la cabeza!" (Put Your Hands On Your Head!)

"Va alli" (Go there!)

"Sea reservado" (be quiet)



Everything else can wait until they get back to HQ for processing. The part about "You are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent..."? This should be in english. Repeat in spanish later, from the translator at HQ. If they can't communicate with the agent anyway, what's he going to do? Torture him into confession using sign language?
