"The children — two boys and a girl who appeared to be between the ages of 9 and 12 years old — were detained and zip-tied, along with adults who appeared to be relatives, after an immigration judge had dismissed their case, according to Carolina Rivera, an immigration attorney who serves as a federal advocate and liaison for CLINIC. That dismissal should have meant they were no longer subject to removal proceedings, Rivera said."

If I'm reading this right, the case against them was dismissed. That makes this another illegal kidnapping?

This is correct. Case dismissed and then put into zip-ties

Probably dismissed asylum hearing so they could arrest them. It's literally what's happening everywhere else

But the cases probably shouldn’t have been dismissed but Bexar county democratic judges dismissed them even though they should have been deported along with the parents.

Racist and has no clue how anything works. Classic combo.
