Linda L. Mullen (argued), Attorney, Office of the United States Attorney, Rock Island, IL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.

Candace R. Jackson (argued), Attorney, Office of the Federal Defender Program, Chicago, IL, for Defendant-Appellant.

Before RIPPLE and ROVNER, Circuit Judges, and ST. EVE, District Judge.


ROVNER, Circuit Judge.

Benjamin Garcia-Garcia was convicted of illegal re-entry into the United States after having been deported, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), and knowingly transporting illegal aliens, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1324(a)(1). He challenges the traffic stop which led to his arrest, contending that it was not supported by probable cause and was therefore in violation of his rights under the Fourth Amendment. We affirm.
