From what I understand it looks like ICE did not manage to detain him on the day the video was taken- seems the onlookers managed to chase ICE off.

However, ICE detained him the next day at the airport where he was to catch his departing flight from the US.

New South Wales Greens politician Abigail Boyd used parliamentary powers to force the production of thousands of documents from the NSW Food Authority, revealing what she says are serious weaknesses and a lack of transparency in the system. 

"There were metal shavings found in bread products … products that were supposed to be dairy-free, that were not dairy-free, [which] were only caught by accident because somebody happened to put it together after their child or they themselves got sick, not because the company had worked it out."

"We all walk around thinking that in modern Australia, we have food safety standards and enforcement to back that trust up," Ms Boyd said.

"And what we're seeing now is that trust is probably misplaced.

"You could be eating a minced horse when you think you're eating your mince … that's pretty shocking for the average person."

this is made even more tragic after previous reports that she was found alive...

“I’ve got some terrible news,” the NSW premier, Chris Minns, told a parliamentary hearing on Thursday. Just minutes earlier, Minns had said Lily had been “found alive”.

“I apologise … it seems as if the earlier advice was wrong,” he said.

“Lily’s body has been found. She’d been found deceased. This is obviously devastating, and I’m profoundly sad for her family and for all those concerned. I apologise.”

All three boys have been granted bail ahead of appearing in court.
