It also does matter in what city these things happen in because certain sanctuary cities or states will not allow their law enforcement and judicial officials to cooperate with immigration officers which leaves those officers dependent on going out into wanted persons neighborhoods to find them. In non-sanctuary cities/states local officials can and do simply notify immigration officers when an illegal alien is being released from jail or allowed to leave court so that they can be picked up and processed by federal officials in a controlled environment. Which of those situations apply to your son's neighborhood?
During the Mike Brown/Ferguson riots here it was a badge of honor for protestors to be arrested.

Our City’s Aldermen just could not drive out to that suburb fast enough to get themselves into a paddy wagon, all the better if news media had shots of them in that compromised position.

More than one local politician used their arrest as a badge of pride in their campaigns for re-election.
