The difference between red caps and red armbands is time.

Local news says

Mbock came to the United States as a child from Cameroon in 2002. Court documents show he had a long-standing removal order, "which resulted from a grant of voluntary departure in 2005." It was eventually converted to a removal order. Despite the removal order, family and friends say Mbock completed his yearly check-ins and was able to renew his work permit without any problems from ICE for decades.

I guess with the push to enforce they no longer wanted to extend his renewals and he finally got removed. I wonder why the article didn’t include that detail?

Arresting people while they’re renewing their work permits should be illegal. Plain cruelty

It sounds like this is somebody who doesn't have PR. So they're not under any obligation to renew his work permit as far as I know.

Still, detaining him is completely insane. That should not be what happens to someone whose work permit is denied.

ICE is nothing but a gang of bigots and bullies. Preying on the vulnerable and taking the cheapest of shots at those who actually contribute to the country - this will be remembered

It looks like they’re hunting anyone ethnic with a following on social media per the latest batch of headlines.
