- Santa Ana by Walnut & Ross: One confirmed ICE arrest.

OTHER NEWS:
- Nurses at an Ontario clinic are charged with allegedly obstructing ICE during a no-warrant arrest where they chased a man into their clinic.
- Cases against protesters are being dropped based on false claims by the feds. At least 7 out of 9 cases have been dismissed. One DHS agent accused a protester of shoving an officer, when footage appeared to show the opposite: the officer forcefully pushed the protester. One indictment named the wrong defendant, a stunning error that has jeopardized one of the government's most high-profile cases.
