All aliens in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention and, if found removable by final order, removal from the United States, regardless of nationality."Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said she watched videos of the incident and was left "wondering and aching from the fear and pain these types of operations keep striking in my heart and the hearts of so many of us."There is so much about ICE operations that create a sense of fear, and we know we’ll likely never receive answers to our many questions that surround them," she said.According to Mendenhall, the arrest happened in the pre-security area of the airport, which is a public space.The operation was not directed by nor coordinated with the Salt Lake City Police Department, but Mendenhall said an officer requested and visually confirmed the agents' federal identification.2News spoke with Renderos Leiva’s family to learn more about what happened during the arrest.One family member said they were about to walk into the TSA line when federal agents approached.Seeing how they were mistreating her makes me feel so helpless," they said. "And not being able to do anything for her. ... When you're telling them not to mistreat her, and they just act like nothing's wrong, like she's an animal."They're human beings, they shouldn't be treated like that," they added.Renderos Leiva’s family said she had a work permit and no criminal history.2News found she had two parking tickets and a crossing guard infraction.Another family member said, “She does everything she can to follow the law so that she will never commit a crime. She's like the greatest person ever.”Adam Crayk, an attorney familiar with the case, said parking tickets do not constitute a criminal history.On the reason for the arrest, Crayk said, “It looks like this female respondent — that's what they are called in an immigration court — did not show at an immigration hearing, so it was a removal in absentia, which means there was a deportation order that took place. When that happens, you have a certain amount of time to file an appeal, and I don't know if there's been an appeal filed.”The family said they never received a notice about the hearing.“So that means, theoretically, that she has a pretty valid motion to reopen. And people say that a lot, but one of the things that we have to show is that she continued to maintain an address that was easily obtained by immigration," Crayk said.When asked how much time she has before being removed, Crayk said, “That's the hard part, because with the removal order in place, they could have already gotten a targeted arrest done. They could have the plane ready to go on Friday, which is tomorrow, and she literally could be in her country of origin.”Crayk emphasized that the federal order for removal was issued more than five years ago in 2020, yet Renderos Leiva did not know of it. He said it’s important to determine why she was unaware._____
