Overview
- Officer Jaciel Cortina, placed on administrative leave April 10 after a preliminary review, is under an internal investigation.
- Police said the March 14 stop followed a report about a 15-year-old, and later confirmed the girl never left home and no crime occurred.
- Esteban Reyes, 17, and his father, Gerardo Gonzalez Reyes, 44, were booked on interfering-with-public-duties charges after the stop.
- Officer Cortina learned after booking that ICE had issued an immigration detainer for the father, which asks jails to notify agents and hold someone for up to 48 hours.
- Local outlets reported he was taken into ICE custody, with the Statesman reporting he remains detained as advocates and a county judge press for full body-camera video and question the basis for the stop.
