Video Shows Arrest of Wisconsin State Trooper

Newly released surveillance footage shows federal immigration officers detaining Wisconsin State Patrol trooper Carel Aaron Van Der Merwe at Madison’s Dane County Regional Airport on November 5. The 21-year-old, who had a valid work permit while awaiting an asylum decision, was arrested as he traveled to visit family and released the following day after intervention by Wisconsin Congressman Derrick Van Orden. Authorities are investigating whether airport security officials alerted agents.
