Do you feel it's appropriate for ICE to arrest people in front of the courthouses when they show up to defend themselves?

I don't understand if they have a court appearance doesn't that mean they are already under charges ? Unless they are there to protest or with family in that case yes ,is there special place where criminals go to be arrested?

No, not necessarily. In many cases the immigrant didn't fill out paperwork properly or took too long to file paperwork. The immigrant seeking citizenship would then have to go to court to prove that they are making efforts to satisfy the immigration department.
Only an immigration judge can extend the visa of an immigrant to allow time to process late paperwork. These immigrants are making legitimate efforts to satisfy the immigration departments legal demands.
"The law" is literally Democracy, and democracy is very slow.
Not to mention, it is not the role of the White House to police the American people nor anyone seeking American citizenship. That role belongs to the Immigration Department.

@kodiac yes, that means they've already been accused of something.But they are still technically innocent.Until proven guilty

@dale74 I understand that but they are saying an illegal can't be arrested in a courthouse and i want to know why not.

It's not about where, it's still about being arrested without any evidence of a crime being committed.
It's about respecting the justice system.
