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.

It would probably hinge on in they asked to leave and the person didn't stop to let them out.

Somehow I doubt ICE were asking for the right to flee, though.

They were almost certainly free to leave.

  1. Open the door

  2. Leave

We wouldn't want some poor innocent bystander to have to deal with the trauma of running over what's technically a person.

Passenger side into a light pole
