Great, yet another example! Keep 'em coming!The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) told Newsweek that Border Patrol was making a targeted arrest when Figueroa's vehicle blocked agents and struck an unmarked government vehicle.
A 15-year-old United States citizen was detained by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents on Chicago’s East Side on Tuesday afternoon and held for five hours in a federal facility garage, according to the family's attorney.
Attorneys from the firm Romanucci & Blandin said he was held for approximately five hours without being formally charged, allowed to contact his family, or granted access to legal counsel.
The teenager was restrained with zip ties and handcuffs and transported to a federal law enforcement facility not affiliated with CBP or ICE, according to the law firm. They also said his mother was not informed of his whereabouts during the detention.
Family attorneys secured the boy's release yesterday evening. No charges have been filed against the boy, the firm said.
