The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (Hispanic Reading Room, Hispanic Division) In November 1835, the northern part of the Mexican state of Coahuila-Tejas declared itself in revolt against Mexico's new centralist government headed by President Antonio López de Santa Anna.
By February 1836, Texans declared their territory to be independent and that its border extended to the Rio Grande rather than the Rio Nueces that Mexicans recognized as the dividing line.

He was arrested by local police for driving without a license, and once he was booked his fingerprints were automatically sent to immigration authorities.
Under Secure Communities, the fingerprints of everyone arrested locally are automatically sent to federal immigration authorities to be checked against immigration databases. If a match is made, it's up to US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, better known as ICE, to decide whether to detain and try to deport the person arrested.
