ICE holds from city and county jails
Summary
A family's son was arrested on a municipal violation and referred to ICE from the city jail — something members thought wasn't supposed to happen. Members also heard that the county jail holds people for immigration, families pay bonds but don't get releases, and detainees aren't searchable in the online system.
