Immigration agents mistakenly detain deputy U.S. marshal in Tucson, feds confirm

[tblue37]

A deputy U.S. marshal was mistakenly detained by immigration agents inside the federal building that houses Tucson's immigration court, U.S. Marshals Service officials confirmed on Thursday.

The wrongful detention was a case of mistaken identity and didn't last long, according to the federal law enforcement agency, responding to the Arizona Daily Star's inquiry about the incident.

"A Deputy US Marshal who fit the general description of a subject being sought by ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) was briefly detained at a federal building in Tucson after entering the lobby of the building," the U.S. Marshals Service statement said. "The Deputy US Marshal’s identity was quickly confirmed by other law enforcement officers, and he exited the building without incident."

The agency declined to provide more details outside its statement, nor confirm the date of the incident. Multiple sources told the Star the detention took place in late May

General description"= not lily white, I bet.

2. Ya think?

[tblue37]

3. Yep.

[flashman13]

11. Yeah - he looked like the suspect. He was brown.

You know how they all look alike.

4. ICE agents face covered? Were they wearing body armor. What a bunch of Keystone cops

We know it’s getting out of hand when they start arresting each other for crying out loud

5. Between 2009 to 2017 under Obama's watch 5 million peole were deported back to their country of origin.

trDUMP and Stephen Miller intend to beat Obama's number. That will require that they deport in excess of 1,000 immigrants per day. Djt does not stand for Obama beating him at the deportation game. Miller threatened ICE personnel for job terminations if they do not pickup the pace of daily deportations of dark skinned folks.

6. "Get that Mexican guy!!!"

7. When POTUS issues a daily quota requirement for apprehensions, breathing while brown becomes a suspicious act.

No wonder why Trump admired, defended, and pardoned the racist former sheriff of Maricopa County.

8. You Mean

Not all brown people are illegal immigrants?

9. Good thing the "Red Faces"

didn't have their own "Border Patrol/ICE Agents" many years ago........Those "Pale Face" immigrants committed the largest Genocide ever.......

10. Hispanic? You betcha.... This is insane. Your family may have lived many decades here in America,...

But if you speak Spanish and English, both, and have brown skin, God knows where you could end up….

15. Or, you know, your ancestor could have been brought here in chains in 1650...

... making your family probably centuries older than the second-and-third generation immigrants who want you to "go back where you came from."

12. They don't care about your documents, federal badge, or ID

Any brown person will do. ICE be thinking undocumented immigrants are sneaky enough to have a fake US Marshal badge.

14. It would be just great if ICE and the Marshals turned on each other.

Both offices have been corrupted, unfortunately. But if ICE treats a few more marshals who "fit the general description" like they do their targets, it could get tense.
