Based on actual events. Once the standoff started, six hours were wasted trying to detain someone who pays U.S. taxes.
The average ICE(U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement) raid cost:
Low End: $3,500 – $4,000 per hour (smaller raids)
High End: $7,000 – $9,000 per hour (large-scale operations)
Highly trained and skilled individuals were abruptly stopped by a ladder and a sloped surface.
As of today, the person who was left there and not detained has not been pursued or detained since.
