ICE has been raiding my neighborhood and surrounding ones for the last couple of weeks now. They commandeered my local church (against the pastor's will) for a staging site and raided supermarkets, parks, Goodwills, bus stops, you name it.

Usually a default occurs when the defendant is served process but then refuses to engage at all with the case from the outset (and courts really hate entering judgment on a default, and usually give the defaulting party tons of chances to cure)
Here, the default occurred *at the trial stage*!!
