ICE Arrests Persist Nationwide Amidst Minneapolis Focus
Despite the public's focus on the deployment of federal agents in Minneapolis, ICE operations continue across the U.S., causing fear and disruption in immigrant communities. Recent reports indicate that ICE has conducted arrests in various locations, including day laborers in San Diego and a taco truck vendor in Los Angeles. These operations have been described as 'smash and grab' tactics, characterized by quick and discreet arrests that evade public and media attention. In southern California, the pace of arrests has increased, with legal aid organizations noting a spike in calls from detained individuals or their families. The ongoing operations have led to a heightened sense of fear among immigrants, affecting their daily activities and access to essential services.
