ICE Agents Grilled For Arresting, Detaining Immigrants Who Visit Government Offices
ResumeA federal court judge is looking into the authority of federal immigration agents when it comes to arresting and detaining some immigrants.
Already the hearings have resulted in a promise that federal agents here will no longer arrest undocumented immigrants who are visiting government offices trying to gain legal status.
This includes Lucimar de Souza, a Brazilian immigrant married to an American who was separated from her three children for three months after she was detained at a government office in Boston. During the hearing, Judge Mark Wolf played an emotional video of her reuniting with her 10-year-old son.
