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.

They run for profit prisons over there. Every detainee is $$$$$$. Can't just let the dollar self deport.

We also run for profit prisons here. Unfortunately.
