In those headliner raids and arrests of 1200 illegals a couple of weeks ago, most were released within 5 hours -- after the headline of the arrests, of course.

Source to back up this claim other then some pressure groups PR sheet or website?

Excuse the interruption, but as to a source - It was reported the next day on FoxAndFriends that all the illegals were released after getting a 'notice to appear ticket'. I don't know if it was "five hours" but they all were in fact released.

It might be in the Fox News website archives, but it is true as I saw that segment with my own little eyes.

Many illegal immigrants arrested in raid already out of custody

For a variety of reasons, another 400 of the illegal workers arrested have already been processed and released...

In Dallas, 93 illegal workers were arrested, all from Mexico. Of those, 90 agreed to be deported. [Wanna bet how many of those 90 are already back --- illegally?]

In Houston, of 67 arrested, according to a Houston ICE spokeswoman, only 12 were actually deported. The rest were released. [Wanna bet how many of those are already back --- illegally?]

Those arrested outside Albany were released on their own recognizance with orders to report to a federal magistrate in Albany on May 4. [Wanna bet how many actually showed up for their May 4 appointment?]

This is just 1 newspaper report. Check it Internet. I'm sure you can find many others with similar caught, but released scenarios.
