Monday morning, when at least two people who showed up for scheduled hearings at San Antonio Immigration Court were led away in handcuffs by federal agents, U.S. Rep. Greg Casar accused the Trump administration of ambushing law-abiding immigrants as they pursued cases to legally stay in the U.S. During a press conference across the street from the court building, Casar said he’d watched the hearing of a Venezuelan man earlier in the morning who was here on temporary protected status. During the proceeding, an attorney for the federal government said it had dropped its case, which the Democratic congressman said enabled masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to apprehend and handcuff the man, whisking him onto a bus waiting outside.
