The detentions come on the heels of similar arrests earlier this week in immigration courts across the country.

An immigration lawyer says she personally witnessed ICE agents, wearing street clothes, detain at least three people in the hallway outside an immigration courtroom in Dallas on Thursday.

An attorney told KERA she saw at least three men detained after they had been told their deportation cases were dismissed. "When they step out in the hallway, that's where ICE is waiting for them.”
