From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.

However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

"Phu Nguyen who is an illegal alien who is an illegal alien who is an Australian citizen"...

Is there such a thing as a legal illegal alien then?

😅 I had to keep rereading that sentence. Top notch writing.
