The way I read the piece is that it was not an ICE employee, or even a British immigration and/or customs person, it was a Continental Airlines employee.

It was a Continental Airlines employee who was (likely correctly) enforcing U.S. immigration law. Airlines get fined if they transport people who don't have the correct paperwork to enter another country.
