Plainclothes Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents attempted to detain a man at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas, according to CBS News. Video captured the encounter, which drew intervention from other travelers at the airport.
ICE agents said the man had overstayed his visa. When other travelers stepped in, the agents walked away, leaving the man with a handcuff on one wrist.
He was not taken into custody at the airport. Instead, agents arrested him the following day when his flight landed in Los Angeles.
The incident drew attention because of the agents' plainclothes appearance, which made it difficult for bystanders to immediately identify them as law enforcement. The video showed a visible confrontation before the agents backed off.
CBS News reporter Nicole Sganga reported on the encounter. The circumstances of the man's visa status and the details of his eventual custody were not further specified in the available reporting.
