Arrest for civil violation in the US?
<p>Immigration officers in the US can arrest people who have violated immigration law, even if the violation is not criminal (<a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1357#a_2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">8 USC 1357(a)(2)</a>, <a href="https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/8/287.5#c_1" rel="nofollow noreferrer">8 CFR 287.5(c)(1)</a>).  Are there other examples of civil violations in the US that can lead to arrest of the violator?</p>

<h2>Yes</h2>

<p>Contempt of court is an example, I’m sure there are others.</p>
