Was Francisco Erwin Galicia Arrested or Detained?
<p>Francisco Erwin Galicia was held 23 days incommunicado by CBP in Texas.  Was he arrested or detained?  What is the line of reasoning for arriving at the conclusion?</p>

<p>Update: <a href="https://www.dallasnews.com/news/immigration/2019/07/29/congressman-asks-border-patrol-chief-clarify-testimony-us-citizen-held-weeks" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Galacia's attorney indicated</a> a notice from DHS:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The notice reads, “On or about June 27, 2019, you were found at the
  Falfurrias, Texas, Border Patrol Checkpoint, a distance of more than
  25 miles from the United States border with Mexico ... You did not
  receive the permission of an immigration officer to proceed beyond
  that 25 mile limit ... At that time, you falsely represented yourself
  to be a citizen of the United States for the purpose of furthering
  your entry into the United States.”</p>
</blockquote>

<h2>He was arrested and then detained</h2>

<p>Arrest is a “point in time” event at which someone is lawfully deprived of their liberty. After that, while they are held in custody they are being detained.</p>
