Because agents will be tired of going to court and losing.

So whats the rest of the story? I've watched too many people engaged in obstructionist behavior that im tired of people getting away with it. I hope this kid was charged and not just released.

Charged with what? Being an American citizen and saying so?

No for obstructionism. That was the claim as to why he was picked up.

They should charge him and then have to prove it in court.

If they are "primarily" going after criminals, why do so few of those arrested have criminal records? Less than 30% of those detained to date have any prior criminal convictions, and a significant percentage of those are for minor infractions like traffic violations. In Chicago, less than 3% of those arrested in Operation Midway Blitz had criminal records.

FACT: 70% of ICE arrests have involved illegal aliens convicted of, or charged with, crimes. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, 35.7% of the illegal aliens in ICE detention have criminal convictions, 30.5% have pending criminal charges, and the remaining 33.8% are “other immigration violators” — while nearly 70% of those removed from the country have criminal histories. As a result of this unprecedented effort, scores of gang members and national security threats have been taken off our streets.

Tom Homan Annihilates MSDNC’s Smears, Lies on Border Security

Pending charges are meaningless - under our legal system, people are assumed innocent until proven guilty. And, given CBP's involvement in the various enforcement operations throughout the country, that article's assumption that persons arrested by CBP are solely border encounters is flawed.

Deposition of Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino went off the rails at hello, transcript shows​

The full transcript of Bovino’s deposition was made part of the court record as attorneys in an ongoing lawsuit accused immigration agents with Border Patrol and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement of routinely violating a restraining order issued by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis limiting the use of force against protesters and media.

Ellis blasted Bovino for his antics and answers during the three-day deposition, issuing a scathing 233-page ruling earlier this month that described the tough-talking field general as “evasive” and accused him of “either providing ‘cute’ responses” or “outright lying.”

Yes, that lie that it was about 'removing criminals' and the 'worst of the worst' is a large part of what's motivating the anger.

And then there are the methods being used on noncriminals, legal residents, and citizens.

I am sad to report that the highest response I can give is a "win" response. Because this needs to be said a thousand times over.

19-year-old college student deported despite judge's order blocking her removal​

A 19-year-old college student who was on her way to surprise her family for Thanksgiving break was detained at a Boston airport and later deported despite a federal judge's order blocking her removal, according to her attorney.

Hours after her detainment, court documents obtained by ABC News show that a federal judge ordered the government not to remove the 19-year-old from the U.S. and not to transfer her outside of Massachusetts.

But according to Pomerleau, Lopez Belloza was transferred that evening to Texas and deported to Honduras the next day.

In a statement to ABC News' Boston affiliate WCVB, a spokesperson for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Lopez Belloza had a removal order since 2015 and confirmed her removal.

This judge overstepped their authority. The judge is not an immigration judge.

Is it your claim that if the executive department disagrees with the legality of a judges order it can simply ignore it?

How an ICE hospital incident sparked alarm about the patient rights of immigrants​

• ICE agents monitored a detained Salvadoran woman 24/7 in local hospitals, and pressured her to self-discharge against doctor’s orders.
• [This and similar] incidents prompted the L.A. Board of Supervisors this month to approve new protections for patients at county facilities.

In July, federal immigration agents took Milagro Solis-Portillo to Glendale Memorial Hospital just outside Los Angeles after she suffered a medical emergency while being detained. They didn’t leave.

For two weeks, Immigration and Customs Enforcement contractors sat guard in the hospital lobby 24 hours a day, working in shifts to monitor her movements, her attorney Ming Tanigawa-Lau said.

ICE later transferred the Salvadoran woman to Anaheim Global Medical Center, against her doctor’s orders and without explanation, her attorney said. There, Tanigawa-Lau said, ICE agents were allowed to stay in Solis-Portillo’s hospital room around the clock, listening to what should have been private conversations with providers. Solis-Portillo told her attorney that agents pressured her to say she was well enough to leave the hospital, telling her she wouldn’t be able to speak to her family or her attorney until she complied.

If immigration agents arrest someone without a warrant, they must tell them why they’ve been detained and generally can’t hold them for more than 48 hours without making a custody determination. A federal judge recently granted a temporary restraining order in a case in which a man named Bayron Rovidio Marin was monitored by immigration agents in a Los Angeles hospital for 37 days without being charged and was registered under a pseudonym.

[ICE has guidelines, but these] guidelines are not enforceable, Genovese said.

Department of Homeland Security cut staffing at ombudsman offices that investigate civil rights complaints, saying they “obstructed immigration enforcement by adding bureaucratic hurdles.”

ICE agents detained indigenous actress — then accused her of faking her tribal ID​

"Miles, an Indigenous actor best known for her roles in 'Northern Exposure,' 'Smoke Signals,' 'Wyvern' and 'The Last of Us,' handed them her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon," said the report.

But these agents, who were all wearing vests and masks and driving in a pair of black SUVs without front license plates, refused to accept the ID, claiming it was "fake" and that "anyone can make that."

“What we’re talking about here is racial profiling,” Gabriel Galanda, a tribal rights attorney in Seattle told The Times. “People are getting pulled over or detained on the street because of the dark color of their skin.”
