    I’m wondering if it’s because ICE can’t detain citizens. And I don’t mean they can’t legally detain citizens. I mean they don’t have places to do it. Do they have jails? If they only operate detention facilities for immigrants they would have to take detained citizens to a police station and in this case the police probably said they will not arrest her. And yes, they will often lie that someone is not a citizen but does anyone know of a case where they put a white citizen into a immigrant detention facility? Or do they take those people to jails?

        Even white citizens? I’m not saying they don’t but do you know any examples?

          They won’t let members of congress in which they’re legally supposed to do. My guess is they have dozens of US citizens in their detention centers because they changed their name or whatever. That’s probably why they’re picking up people’s wives (marital name changes are the most common type).
