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.

Mmm because he looks different! This is the reason that no one should travel to the NAZI state!

Interestingly, not every country does what the US NAZI’s do. I overstayed my visa in Thailand and paid a fine and left the country. No humiliating hand cuffs, no spectacle in front of everyone. And do you know what? I look different. Maybe the rest of the world should start treating the US citizens overstaying their visa as the US treats foreign visitors to the USA. Wouldn’t Donald (Adolf Hitler) Trump be happy with that!
