Can someone be charged with false imprisonment for detaining a proven illegal immigrant until the authorities?

being a misdemeanor, no. if he's committing a crime, yes, but not for residing illegaly in this country.\nIf residing illegally were a felony, then the answer would probably be yes.

They're arrested, detained and then given a hearing to establish if they have a legitmate cause for asylum. If they don't prove their case, they're deported.

It depends on if he is going to risk being found out. If the police are involved, you would get charged with assault, but if the illegal doesn't want to file charges, it might still be up to the officer to press charges against you. \n\nWhether of not the police do anything about the illegal depends entirely on whether he is willing to cooperate with the police, or if he is angry about the assault. \n\nIf you put him in the hospital, there is no doubt that the police will press charges against you, and there is no doubt that the illegal will cooperate with the police. \n\nAs for deporting him, depends also on what part of the country you live in. I have noticed that illegals have a harder and harder time avoiding deportation the further north you go. \n\nIf you live in Texas or Arizona, he won't get deported. If you live in New York City or Montpelier Vermont, you can bet on it.

No one can stop you from asking a question.\n\nOf course, asking this question might not be in your best interest, especially if the person really is one.\n\nUnless you have solid proof that a person is illegal, it's a good idea to keep your distance.  Your cause is noble, but you should focus more of your energy and attention on the border issue.

Call the police, they are trained for that.  Can you move in the mean time?\n\nHe has a criminal record that led to his deportation.  He most likely entered the States illegally.\n\nThey'll pick him up.

What type of laws did they break?  Unless they’ve broken a criminal law, internal affairs can’t do anything.  If you’re talking about a false arrest or getting caught in a sting operation, the best recourse is to appeal the conviction.   Almost 100% of the time the lower courts will side with the police officer, but in the appeals court, the decision often swings toward the plaintiff.\n\nFabricating lies and spreading them with the intention of causing harm to another person is a civil matter.  Slander and libel are difficult to prove.  First you must prove the person is lying, then you must prove they are spreading those lies with the sole intention of hurting you and then you must prove those lies have caused you to lose something i.e.: a job, money, your home, etc.  Call an attorney and see if you have a case, but chances are, you can’t do anything.\n\nIf you have a video tape which contradicts even one sentence of the police report, you should appeal the case in a higher court.  All you have to do is catch them in one little lie to have the whole thing thrown out of court.

I presume you have a good reason to have the person deported? Are they a terrorist or break one of our laws? If so call your local police. If that doesnt work call INS or the FBI.

No, what you do in other countries that is stil legal stays in those countries. Unless you violate any laws inside the U.S. they cannot arrest you.

Its almost universally illegal, but enforcement varies from jurisdiction.  An arrest could possible arise, but there is a defense and you could sue the government for violation of constitutional protections (for an unlawful arrest).  See the dissent in Atwater v. Largo Vista.

well strike the 3rd answer down dude.false imprisonment is something that happens more than you think especially in states that do not have discovery laws .and in my opinon they do not have those laws for the simple reason they want to be able to railroad the poor and innocent and "falsely Imprison"them.The southern states ars real good about that.\nas long as there is no discoverly then the prosecution can hide facts that downright prove the charged person is innocent.And yes they knowingly do this just to embellish their conviction record to help futher their careers down the road and the part that kills me is not only are these low lifes still able to sleep but,the Law lets them get away with it and when it is,(years later usually)discovered there is nothing the innocent person can do to get back the freedom that was taken from him.

It will show he was arrested.  Contact a lawyer about getting it expunged.

the answers given so far are the best way. If you can not call person home, call the branch of law enforcement whom you think arrested this person. If that is not feasible either you can look to see if the county has a website and check there. My county does have one and they post every day who is arrested and what for. Also the police here have one too.

Depending on the crime, he/she could get deported. A speeding ticket may not be enough, but assault, child abuse etc. will get the person deported.

For what country?  And you need to reqord your question...three are no rules for "illegal detainment".  The fact that someone's detainment is either legal or illegal is based on law.  \n\nIn case you are talking about the United States (this is an assumption as many nationalities are represented here) I cite below.  \n\nIn the United States, the Department of Homeland Security, Customs and Border Protection, work with the Immigration and Nationality Act and the accompanying federal regulations (known as CFR 22) to determine when someone may or may not be detained.

Get in touch with the court system or have your lawyer contact them- see if it is on your record.  Your lawyer could best answer this question but I believe the answer is no- you were not convicted of anything but detained till  released.  Good luck.

Don't bother. \n\nUnless the alien is committing crimes, injuring persons, or dealing dope, the authorities are not going to do anything to that person. \n\nIn the event they are committing crimes, then contact your local Immigration & Naturalization Service for info.

Other than help them get the best lawyer you can afford, I don't really know.\n\nIf they are in jail, a good lawyer might be more likely to get them out on bail.  They are more likely to rebut the prosecution's case or to come up with evidence to exonerate this person.\n\nIf their bail is too high for them to be released, perhaps you could help with securing a bond.  It all depends on how much you can or want to help.
