ICE Filing "Fictional" Cases in Order to Jail Immigrants

District Judge Xavier Rodriguez slammed the Trump administration for filing a “largely fictional” case in order to sentence Jaime Alberto Quintanilla-Chavez to 20 years for allegedly harming an officer and impeding officers. You might remember the viral video showing an ICE agent breaking out the truck window. ICE has broken 50 windows this year, compared to just 8 in the past decade. The judge wrote that letting the indictment stand “would grant immigration enforcement officers carte blanche to evade the requirements of the Fourth Amendment."
