PORTLAND — In late January, Diddier Pacheco Salazar walked into a Portland, Oregon, courtroom for a hearing in his DUI case. Immigration agents were waiting the hallway outside, waiting to arrest the undocumented immigrant afterward and possibly deport him.
He never came out.
Plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents stationed themselves outside because someone convicted of a DUI is considered a risk to public safety, said Billy Williams, US Attorney for Oregon. According to ICE, Salazar had been deported previously and had returned to the country.

Equivalent punishment as she'd dish out if the roles were reversed and ICE violated her authority inside her court: Find her in contempt of the law, disbar her, and lock her up until she kisses the law's feet the same as judges are notorious for requiring those in contempt to do to them.
It was January 27 when Salazar, a 22-year-old Mexican national, went before Judge Monica Herranz to plead guilty to a DUI.
The focus is on the presiding judge, and whether she allowed Salazar to sneak out through another door.
Herranz declined to comment when contacted by CNN.
