Federal immigration authorities apprehended several individuals at the Phoenix immigration court on Tuesday.

During the incident, one attorney described the scene as “mayhem,” adding that people who believed their cases had been dismissed were taken into custody, the Tucson Sentinel reported.

…

Isaac Ortega, an immigration attorney in Phoenix, reported that agents arrested his client shortly after a court hearing on Tuesday morning.

According to Ortega, the officials wore masks and did not disclose which agency they represented, identifying themselves only as federal officers.

Gestapo! If they won’t identify themselves and their agency, they shouldn’t be policing.

A Florida woman has reportedly racked up over $1.82 million in civil penalties after failing to comply with a deportation order issued two decades ago.

The 41-year-old undocumented immigrant from Honduras, who has lived in the United States since at least 2005, was fined $500 per day for each day she remained in the country following her removal order, according to documents obtained by CBS News.

Simply absurd! How many undocumented immigrants have a spare $1.82 mil sitting around? And …

… she … is now the mother of three U.S. citizen children.

Newsweek: ICE Probe Into Foreign Teachers Sparks Backlash

A federal immigration enforcement operation targeting Filipino teachers in Hawaii has ignited a firestorm of backlash, drawing widespread outrage from lawmakers and top education officials.

…

Multiple Filipino teachers on Maui were questioned by ICE agents as part of a federal search operation.

According to ICE, the warrant was executed on May 6 as part of an immigration investigation. A special agent confirmed that the residents were cooperative during the search.

“The occupants of the location were cooperative and HSI was able to conduct its search without interference or any impediment. For the safety of the agents and the occupants, residents of the home were briefly detained and interviewed in addition to the search. At the conclusion of the search, HSI special agents left the location without any arrests made,” ICE said in a statement.

This is just bigotry and harassment by cops too stupid and lazy to find real criminals to apprehend. What was their probable cause for a warrant? Something along the line of “there’s a lot of fereners living there, gotta go harass them and shake ’em down”?

“The HSTA is very disturbed and concerned about how these Maui teachers were treated,” the Hawaii State Teachers Association said.

Newsweek: US Citizen Detained After Visiting Canada: ‘Treated Like a Criminal’

“I literally drove my car to Canada for the weekend, and on the way back, I was treated like a criminal,” Atallah, a New Hampshire real estate attorney who has been an American citizen for 10 years, told NBC10 Boston.

…

A CBP official has claimed that Atallah’s account is “blatantly false and sensationalized.”

“He asked me, ‘Exit the vehicle right now,’ and he reached for his gun,” Atallah said. “I said, ‘OK, I’m exiting the vehicle, keep your gun at your waist.”

“They handcuffed me, they twisted my arm, my wrist,” he said. “They walked me inside, and I was looking at my wife in the car.”

“It was like a shock for me,” Fakhri said.

The real estate attorney asked why he was being detained, according to NBC10 Boston.

“Even if you ask questions, they say, ‘We don’t know, it’s the government,'” he said.

Atallah says he began feeling unwell and asked for medical assistance. An EMS report indicated he had high blood pressure and required additional care, but he declined treatment after U.S. Border Patrol agents explained the next steps they planned to take.

“They’re definitely going to escort me to the hospital and have an officer guard me and being me back and start from zero,” he said.

ah says CBP agents asked to access his email on his phone, but he refused, citing attorney-client privilege.

“So I had to, under duress, give him permission to look through my email, through my privileged information, and he made me write a statement, signed by me, saying that I gave him permission to look through the email,” Atallah said.

After several requests, Atallah says CBP contacted his sister, an immigration attorney. Nearly five hours later, he and his wife were released—and are now pursuing legal action.
