Quotes 

• Olivia Benson : [When a New Jersey officer refuses to release Yusef from custody]  Listen, two people were killed and you're deporting the one person that can ID the men that did this?

  New Jersey Officer : I don't wanna get into politics, so I think it's time for y'all to leave before things get unpleasant.

  Olivia Benson : No, no, they already are unpleasant.

  New Jersey Officer : I agree. Now get the hell outta here.

  Rafael Barba : Or what? You're gonna deport me to Cuba?

  [about Carisi] 

  Rafael Barba : You gonna take him to Italy?

• Rafael Barba : Other than Yusef putting Hector at the scene, what other evidence do we have?

  Amanda Rollins : No forensics yet.

  Odafin Tutuola : He claims he was home with his wife.

  Olivia Benson : And she's backing him up too.

  Amanda Rollins : In the meantime, we are looking for video around Hector's apartment, going through his phone records, social media looking for anything to blow up his story.

  Deputy Chief William Dodds : What about the other two perps?

  Olivia Benson : We're talking to everybody that Hector knows, trying to shake something loose. You ask me, it's just a matter of time. I mean, these are not sophisticated criminals. It does not feel like an organized, anti-Muslim conspiracy here.

  Deputy Chief William Dodds : Okay. In the meantime, we need to arraign Hector. Show the Muslim community that we're making some progress.
