Immigration agents suddenly apprehended an illegal immigrant who had been trying to hide in a tree for about nine hours, declaring that if they found you there improperly, ICE would find, arrest, and deport you.
Raul Ical, a 29-year-old Guatemalan national, evaded an immigration and customs enforcement ( ICE ) traffic inspection on Tuesday morning, seeking refuge in a San Antonio home.

Local people who spoke to KENS5 reported that officials made two attempted trees ascents when attempting to speak with Ical at 7 pm, roughly nine hours after his original climb at 10 am.
You can work, but you didn’t hide, said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who made the strange avoid try. If you are improperly staying here illegally, ICE will get you, assault you, and deport you, whether you are under a tree or are being held in a courthouse.
Ical was deported 12 years before, but he now faces national legal fees, according to ICE.
According to ICE officers,” Ical recently entered the United States unjustly on March 27, 2013, and was then taken to Guatemala on April 24, 2013.

The specifics of the first traffic stop are still unknown.
During the strange altercation, activists gathered nearby a house in northern San Antonio to offer advice to the unidentified migrant.
According to the New York Times, Jose Montoya, an advocate with the Party for Socialism and Liberation, said to Ical after his descent and said,” You don’t have to sign anything.
