LOS ANGELES, CA – OCTOBER 14: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), agents detain an immigrant on October 14, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. ICE agents said the immigrant, a legal resident with a Green Card, was a convicted criminal and member of the Alabama Street Gang in the Canoga Park area. ICE builds deportation cases against thousands of immigrants living in the United States. Green Card holders are also vulnerable to deportation if convicted of certain crimes. The number of ICE detentions and deportations from California has dropped since the state passed the Trust Act in October 2013, which set limits on California state law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

An Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent who was arrested in 2019 after a road-rage incident while off-duty has had the case against him dismissed, according to the San Diego County District Attorney's Office.
A battery charge against Billy Brickett stemming from the confrontation was dropped Monday after a judge ruled he had completed the terms of a plea agreement, which included a year-long child abuse class, 40-hours of community service and anger management.
Brickett was first arrested on May 18, 2019, after he and another driver threatened each other on Dennery Road near Palm Avenue and Interstate 805 in Otay Mesa.
The confrontation spilled over in a parking lot and the two exited their vehicles to continue fighting, according to the second person involved in the confrontation, Ray Drayton.
Drayton filed a civil lawsuit against Brickett for alleged unlawful detention, use of unreasonable force, false imprisonment and other acts. The civil case is scheduled to continue on July 2, 2020.
