Hopefully he gets some money out of this. Can't imagine being grabbed, held in a cell somewhere, and then told I had to be deported all of the sudden. From the article: > On Wednesday, attorneys for Carrillo announced a settlement deal in which the government will pay him $20,000 to resolve a civil lawsuit he filed over the arrest.

Saw that. I wish he'd gotten more than that. $20k seems like a slap on the wrist to the agency.

  For being detained for 4 days, though? It seems reasonable to me for mistakenly arresting him. It doesn't excuse what sounds like unkind and rude behavior from the officers, though, which they shouldn't be doing even when really deporting someone.

    4 days of mental anguish and distress is worth more than that. It's a stress and pain that will stay with a person for a long time. It also has to be enough of a deterrent so that the agency is more careful next time.

    Sounds extremely low. They violated his rights.
