ICE RAIDS
Missed stories from yesterday, August 20th:
- Long Beach: A young woman, Sky Castro, was seen being abducted in Long Beach while walking her dog by a man wearing an FBI jacket. Many suspect and fear this may have been an impersonator, especially since this doesn’t fit the usual appearance and pattern of ICE and BP abductions we’ve been seeing.
- Los Angeles, Downtown on Broadway: 5-6 SUVs took one or two people on the street.
- San Diego: A TikToker documents finding an abandoned truck after ICE picked up the driver. He found the truck, his tools, his lunch, and a red card with his rights on it. The TikToker was able to locate the family and return his truck to them.
Today, August 21st:
- Lynwood, Presidential Barber Shop: Attempted to enter the barbershop, but was unsuccessful. Agents could be heard threatening a person inside, saying, “Open up or we’ll go get your mom and dad.” They were there for about thirty minutes before they left.
- Highland near San Manuel Casino: 1 person was violently taken at 4 am from his home. Witnesses say gunshots were fired, but that is unconfirmed. An agent wearing a cowboy hat was present, possibly Cowboy Kim, BP Sector Chief Bovino’s second in command. IC4IJ is in contact with the family. This person had a court hearing today.
