He was also charged with battery against the sister (unintentional) and
another man who was trying to intervene.

I was going to post about this the other day but I've had a lot of
trouble finding reporting that went beyond the legal filings. What I get
is that no one in the courthouse was enthusiastically cooperating with
ICE. She was told they were coming for him by a court clerk. She
consulted with the chief judge who didn't want him taken into custody in
a courtroom but in a public part of the courthouse. She led the man and
his attorney into a nonpublic hallway used for jurors and defendants in
custody, I hope not at the same time. They got outside the building. The
man tried to run but ICE tackled him.

This is all from the court filing. I haven't found any reporting.

Yeah, there's no CNN reporting here. I even saw a video clip of a woman
reporting for CNN standing in front of the county courthouse who merely
repeated all this stuff.

No reporter has interviewed witnesses. This is ridiculous.

I'm truly flabbergasted that the man's own attorney didn't attempt to
arrange a peaceful surrender, like have his client wait in an interview
room to be taken into custody.
