ICE Activity

Weekend:

  • Santa Ana: A violent abduction was recorded by a pregnant woman of her husband being violently taken out of his vehicle after he was stopped while making a right turn. Agents then asked her to move the car after she replied that she didn’t have a license. They insisted she move it herself, to which she replied, “How do you expect me to move it? It’s against the law. I don’t have a license.” Police came by after to check on the vehicle, which was found damaged with broken windows, broken door handle, and abandoned. 

Today: 

  • Hill St., Los Angeles: Arrest

Witnesses allege that Ontario Police officers participated in the arrest of one of the individuals, potentially violating California's SB 54, the California Values Act.
