ICE Detains Three Men Outside Southern California Courthouse, Sparking Concerns Among Immigration Advocates
Federal immigration agents detained three men outside a San Bernardino County Superior Court, raising alarm among local immigration advocates. The detentions occurred in the courthouse parking lot in Rancho Cucamonga, where agents arrested individuals as they left the building. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Patrol were conducting targeted immigration operations. The individuals detained included two men from Columbia and one from Mexico, with charges ranging from overstaying a visa to assault. Advocates argue that these actions violate due process, as individuals are targeted based on encounters with law enforcement rather than immigration violations. The Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice has reported similar detentions in the region, expressing concern over the chilling effect these actions may have on courthouse attendance.
