Briefly

This tactic places individuals in a precarious position, as they can be arrested and deported without legal recourse. On a recent occasion, two men were arrested outside a San Francisco immigration court, highlighting the urgency of the situation. Critics, including legal experts and the ACLU, argue that this maneuver is unlawful and threatens to undermine the rights of asylum seekers and the integrity of immigration processes.
