Who were the friends, and why, how and where were they stopped by FHP?

If you lie to the Popo and don't have any ID, and other people are arrested, then I probably wouldn't advise lying at that point.

However, they should have went to regular Miami-Dade booking or where the infraction occurred, not an ICE facility...Unless that's not the full story?

There has to be a record and documented transfer records.

We have to remember that ICE just has a daily body count number to hit - 3,000. It doesn’t appear they have any concern about how it turns out and there’s apparently NO probable cause needed let alone a warrant.

If the individual has no ID and is with other undocumented individuals, then they would probably all be arrested/detained until each person could be identified and the entire thing sorted out.

Here is the facts always ignored on arrest warrants and immigration stops...If someone has been caught crossing the border, say five years ago, and they then ignored the deferred immigration court date, (which, unfortunately, many have done), then that's going to be a problem if they are detained. That's because, that person's fingerprints were taken and they are on file when they were released. . If they never showed up for their hearing after being released on their own recognizance, then they will have an immigration capias issued, which is an arrest warrant.

if someone, (like this person), is with this group and they have no ID, and lie about their age, then the popo will just run an NCIC check on their claimed name. If there is a hit on another person with the same name, but different birthday, then the person will still be detained.

Bottom line, don't travel with people with possible arrest warrants and if you do, then carry your ID and don't lie about your age.
