I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.
Yeah, New Mexico IDs and license plates both say “New Mexico, USA” for exactly this reason. So many people have almost been illegally arrested and turned over to ICE by incompetent cops during traffic stops. Cops will pull New Mexico plates over, see the New Mexico ID, and demand to see visa paperwork because they think the person is from Mexico.
Good they are not sending people from New York back to England But you got to admit, some of the naming choices are ridiculous, what’s with all those Paris-es and Pragues.
New Mexico was actually named before Mexico was named.

Wow, that’s an unexpected twist.
