The Canal Street raid, which included more than 50 agents, was supposed to be even larger.

Feds had amassed more than 100 agents for the raid, but it was scaled back at the last minute, after details leaked, per 3 people familiar.

Raid was a harbinger of what's to come.

DHS “probably violated federal immigration laws, which entitle most immigrants facing deportation to a hearing before a judge — a hearing Mr. Juarez never had. .. It is unclear how many other immigrants like Mr. Juarez have been erroneously removed ..”

Alejandro Juarez was supposed to be transferred to an ICE facility in Arizona.

He has a court hearing in October.

Instead, DHS put him on the wrong plane -- and deported him to Mexico.

NEW: How ICE mistakenly deported Alejandro Juarez to Mexico.

Alejandro was detained in NYC, put on the wrong ICE plane and sent to Mexico.

He never saw a judge, no deportation order - a likely violation of law.
