After the two had been trapped in the car for four hours, a group formed a human chain around the vehicle, which they used to protect the man and his son as they ran back into their home

“There were two immigration officials sort of bullying a family inside of their own vehicle, telling them that they had an administrative warrant, which isn’t the same thing as a judicial warrant, and trying to harass them and fear them into coming out,” Daniel Ayoadeyoon, a local lawyer who watched the incident unfold, told WTVF. “They were saying, ‘If you don’t come out, we’re going to arrest you, we’re going to arrest your 12-year-old son,’ and that’s just not legal, it’s not the right law.
Following the standoff, ICE issued a statement to WTVF, informing them “no at-large ICE arrests happened [on Monday] in Nashville.”
