    Riiiight. If they knew about who they were before, why weren’t they already arrested?

      There are two possibilities:

      1. It was leaked to the media that the government was planning “high-profile” arrests, and this might be part of that. The arrests were always happening but they publicized the arrests publicly to deter others seeking to break into the country illegally (which from what I hear has already been working).

      2. ICE has been refusing to arrest these folks, as the Biden administration has had a general policy of being pretty lenient towards illegal immigrants.
