Something seems to be missing here...
How did the call to the police chief result in these people receiving a call...? This is seemingly stated as a determining factor in them turning around and taking her to the police station. But.. how did this happen like that without some type of cooperation between local police and the feds?
Knowing what individuals were working in the area, where they were, what type of vehicles they were using (another article stated the police chief, on the call with the husband, described the vehicle the woman was taken away in to confirm it with the husband), and how this all resulted in a supposed phone call/the woman being taken to the police and turned over to them.
A personal relationship with the police chief is one thing, but the rest I can't make out at this point.
Here's your answer: She was connected to someone important, the local police chief. If she'd been some random citizen, and didn't have a high-powered friend, she'd still be in an ICE Concentration Camp, and we wouldn't have heard a word about it.
Yeah, I get that for sure. It's totally unlikely this would have been the result without their prior relationship with the Police Chief.
What I'm confused about is how anyone in that chain of interactions knew how to get in touch with those specific ICE/CBP people; as it supposedly was a phone call directly to them which had them turn around and take her to the police station.
So, I'm hypothesizing either the local police had some amount of knowledge of what ICE/CBP people were in the area and contact info for them, or a beneficial enough relationship between the chief or the local LE that contacting someone higher up in ICE/CBP/DSHS resulted in such a quick turn around (or any at all, based on their refusal to cooperate with seemingly every request anywhere else).
Sorry, does that make more sense?
I would imagine that every police chief has the local ICE commander's cell phone when they are in town, causing trouble.
