No. One would first have to a citizen to make a citizens arrest.
The above is not true in Texas (at least). Despite the common name "citizen's arrest", the law in Texas (Article 14.01(a) of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure) says any "person" may make an arrest if a felony crime is committed in their presence. Doing so is dangerous, both physically and legally, and may draw unwanted attention to an alien, but alien vs citizen status does not change the validity (or invalidity) of the arrest. It is almost always better to wait for police if possible regardless of citizenship and the law does vary from state to state.

What do you do when making a citizens arrest?
The only real requirement is to say "You're under arrest," but not all states give private citizens the power of arrest. You then make every effort to deliver the arrested person into the custody of a law enforcement officer as soon as possible.it's very important to be sure of your grounds for making an arrest. If you don't have your ducks lined up, the person arrested can sue you for false arrest and/or bring criminal charges against you for false imprisonment.Added: In 100% agreement with foregoing answer and add - - the powers of citizens to arrest someone usually apply only to FELONY offenses. Don't try "arresting" someone for a traffic violation or a misdemeanor offense.

I don't understand your question. Marriage fraud to violate immigration law is illegal and a felony. It is illegal to marry someone to make them legal. It is not illegal to marry an illegal immigrant because you love them. It is not illegal for you to immigrate your illegal spouse...assuming that the marriage is legitimate. It is illegal to mar them.
