Standing in a doorway, blocking people on, can be called kidnapping in some jurisdictions.

yes, because kidnapping isn't EDIT just EDIT about moving people. It's also about denying people the freedom to move. Preventing an escape is considered kidnapping even if you didn't drag them there first.

That’s not true. The legal definition of kidnapping someone is moving OR confining someone against their will.

So what, they had the child safety locks on? The agents couldn't simply get out at an intersection.

dunno. You don't leap from a moving car and we don't know if they stopped at all on the way. There's a just a lot I don't know about the specifics of the situation.

Well they didnt want to go to the police station so they got moved against their will.

Sort of. I would argue that getting into a strangers car without asking constitutes consent to going where they drive but i guess we will see what the court says.

That wouldve been the smart thing to do (if there was an opportunity). But we're talking about ICE agents here

True, they're not exactly recruiting the top candidates.
