    This is fucking criminal. Where are the prosecutors who should be charging these thugs? This is flat-out kidnap.

    Accused of a crime? You can be held for to to 24 hours without official criminal charges.

    Accused of being in the country without documentation? You can be held indefinitely, but maybe they’ll let you out sooner rather than later if they decide to acknowledge that they were wrong to nab you.

    So profoundly fucked up.
