Tarlov countered, “I saw Alligator Alcatraz” — the Florida detention facility that was hurriedly constructed final 12 months on an remoted airstrip surrounded by wetlands. It’s come underneath scrutiny for its poor circumstances and allegations that detainees have been denied the appropriate to satisfy with their attorneys.

The “Five” dialogue started with the case of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained by ICE brokers on Tuesday after returning residence from college together with his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, who authorities stated ran off earlier than being apprehended.

“And then in Maine, an ICE agent was talking to a woman who’s a legal observer and she says, ‘Why are you taking pictures?’” Tarlov stated Friday. “And he says, ‘Because we have a nice little database and now you’re considered a domestic terrorist.’”
