California man detained for days after ICE agent's paperwork error
March 16, 2026 · CA
A California man was detained for days in December after a rookie ICE agent made critical errors in paperwork that became the federal government's justification for his detention. The new officer had completed an abbreviated basic training program that provided only one-third of the hours previously dedicated to teaching recruits how to fill out a key form, according to federal court records.
