VIDEO: Utah man unexpectedly taken into ICE custody during misdemeanor hearing, worrying judge

(Ogden Justice Court) A man appears in court for a hearing where charges against him were reduced to a single class B misdemeanor count of impaired driving before a judge informed him that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers planned to take him into custody on Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2025. The Salt Lake Tribune has blurred the defendant's face because it generally does not identify people accused of low-level crimes.
