Um...not with all the holes on both sides. He was an illegal alien. That's not enough to hold him? You're gonna tell me that they don't have the ability to concoct some reason to hold him until ICE could take him?
Nobody said they had to hold him indefinitely, and you haven't answered whether the 2 hour time limit was arbitrary or when they actually contacted ICE. Was it immediately upon arrest, or right before he walked out the door?
My problem is, I can't think of a good reason for ICE not to take custody of this guy if they were in the same building and were told immediately that he would be released. That's why it's important to know when ICE was notified of his pending release.
Can you think of a reason why ICE would just sit idly by knowing this criminal alien was going to be let loose?
They were government employees.
