ICE agents arrest undocumented immigrant father outside Austin child custody hearing

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents arrested an undocumented immigrant the moment he stepped out of a mediation meeting in Austin on Wednesday. The meeting was a court-mandated order over a custody battle with his ex-wife over their three-year-old daughter.

His family law attorney is critical of the arrest, calling it cruel and unfair.

According to ICE, officers will generally avoid enforcing arrests at places like courthouses and family court proceedings. However, it is completely legal.

According to Daniella Lyttle, the family law attorney representing Javier Alexander Valencia, ICE agents were waiting in the parking lot of the law office where the mediation was taking place. Lyttle said Valencia was scheduled to pick up his daughter immediately following the appointment.

“This is a dirty strategy and a dirty game to play that is involving the life of kids,” Lyttle said. “The person that is most affected here is a three-year-old little girl who was expecting her dad to pick her up after this mediation. And she won’t get to see her dad.”

There are no undocumented immigrants.

The documents immigrants have are what make them immigrants.
The documents they applied for, paid for, waited for and complied with are what make them immigrants.
People who overstay visas or break in are illegal aliens, like this guy, who should be returned to his own country.

Story says he’s planning to become a citizen when he marries his current fiancee.

Hahaha.

It was probably the ex-wife who called LaMigra.

Why is it no matter where I go as a citizen of USA I CAN AND WILL be arrested by Law Enforcement Officers should a valid court order be in effect. But when an illegal alien has the same situation it is somehow a travesty.

These people who defend illegal non law abiding persons but care not one iota for citizens are deliberately advocating anarchy.

They are enemies of America and should no longer possess the authority to legislate rules governing we citizens.

They hate us and want us dead. Buy guns and ammo to protect and defend yourself if they ever gain power.

Trump has great timing on the death penalty reinstatment. Maybe some Russia, Russia, Russia participants didn’t sleep well last night.

He probably just wanted her so he could rent her out to his illegal amigos crossing the border.

Arrest and deport them using “any means necessary” (as the libtards like to say).

I'm sure the mother had nothing to do with this.
