Can you make a citizens arrest on an illegal alien?
Answer:
No because the punishment for being illegaly in a country is NOT imprisonment, it is deportation.
Yep. You sure can! You'd better have undebatable proof, though!
Yes you can. Just be sure you don't hurt him or you'll go to jail and they will get your home and bank account.
By the way, your dog is in my front yard doing a poo.
Yes, but watch out they're squirrely right now. They're killing police officers that pull them over for traffic tickets. About 3 or 4 officers have died in the last month.
A person can make a citizens arrest on _anyone_. The biggest immediate problem would be your ability to enforce the arrest.
Next would be the legality of that arrest. If your 'perp' were not actually in violation of some law which required apprehension, then you could be sued for unlawful arrest.
NO. And I hope you get your @ss kicked trying to. Join the INS if you want to harass immigrants legally.
no. better to report them to the proper authorities
Technically yes, but just try and get a cop to help you. They don't care anywhere except Maricopa County Arizona. Joe Arpaio for President.
I wish! I once had a neighbor who was an illegal in AZ. She had locked her keys in the van.The police show up. I told them she is an illegal, they act like they don't care and they go back to speaking Spanish.
When day that comes that American citizen can around them up, I'll be cheering with the American flag
Don't do it, you will be charged with a hate crime.
Absolutely... I've done it where I live.They were being smuggled in at night. I called the police and said I saw a guy with a gun and they raided the home. Next day only 2 people were there. There were more than 20 taken away.
No you cannot and don't you dare !!
That is Federal Government's job. Don't you have anything better to do than harass the unfortunate and hard working people or are you one of those people who are basically cynic and unhappy and enjoy passing misery, hardship on to others and enjoy seeing the pain your actions cause.
Get a life and do something useful ..... like helping people instead of ruining their lives.
Yes. But most states do not let you take anyone into custody when effecting the arrest. So touching or in any means detaining that person can lead to civil and criminal penalties be leveled against you.
The best bet is to document the event and swear out a complaint with the police.
I wouldn't do it.....because the way things are so political right now....then just may let them out of jail...and they'll come right back and take it out on you. Better to leave that to the Immigration Authorities.
It's reached a point now you cannot even question them at the border with such quotes as what makes you think someone is illegal just because at their at the border and fleeing into Mexico. No illegal aliens and their drugs are gonna be the death of this country
Oh we antis are so stupid we'll do anything to "defend our country" even though we would puss out if we actually came to a real war.
How fast can you swim? ;)
You should be able to, but the answer is no, you cannot. Being in this country illegally is a civil infraction, not a criminal infraction. It would be like detaining someone for parking with an expired meter. You can't do it. If it were a criminal infraction, you could. But then again, the feds would probably just let them go anyway, because this country has lost its mind.
NO you can't. The only thing you can do is to report the person you allege is an 'illegal alien', given that you have sufficient concrete evidence to back up your claim to authorities. Besides, let the people who deal with arresting illegal immigrants and deporting them do that job. That's what they're paid for. If you don't have concrete evidence to back up your claim, then you could be charged with making a false arrest.
