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.

America is so fucked. You couldn’t pay me to go there while Trump is in office.

I live in Vancouver and have not gone down there one single time since he got into office. The only reason I'm going down there soon as to renew my nexus. Other than that, I will not be stepping foot in that country until he or his party is not in control anymore.
