Normally arrests are conducted in ways that protect innocent bystanders. I wonder why the ICE agents chose that enclosed space with civilians present to take down a perp? Surely it could have been done elsewhere... on the sidewalk outside the building... in the lobby... in the courtroom itself.
An older dude like that one on the cane is more fragile than most people and he may be injured in ways that a younger person would not. While I applaud the ICE agents arresting the illegal, the arrest itself was conducted in a haphazard way.
ICE agents, acting on orders to detain illegal immigrants, attempted to apprehend him quietly in the courthouse elevator, but he fled, leading to a scuffle near the third-floor lobby.
A good arrest strategy (they had time to plan this out) would include the possibility of the perp trying to flee. It should have been taken into consideration, since that's what most perps try to do. They didn't contain or control the arrest scene very well, IMHO. I still hold the ICE agents responsible for the older man's injuries.
Agents always need to conduct arrests with minimal exposures for innocent civilians.
Yes, they handled it stupidly. They allowed him to get in front of them in the elevator, rather than having him sandwiched in. This was a very poorly managed operation. Poor old man.
You are 100 percent right ,,( I have another comment in thread )
This makes no sense almost like it was set up to give example of why ice shouldn’t be doing this ,,,, this was a misdemeanor ,, while they are all criminals, arrest every fkn one of them, this was not an armed murderer , someone who escaped from prison etc . This actually made zero sense . Arrest him outside , follow him home , heading to store to get his beer whatever . We have thousands of dirty FBI agents under Kssh sitting around with their feet on the desk if ICE needed help . surely there was enough manpower to follow this one stupid illegal somewhere a lot safer than confined quarters like this , you are so right!!!
