Memo Torres breaks down ICE-related news in Southern California today. Below, you'll find links and references to everything discussed in the video, allowing you to take a closer look at each topic.
Today was relatively quiet, which is concerning, and we suspect, based on the tips coming in, that ICE may be changing its tactics. Multiple sources indicated that instead of staying silent when asked to identify themselves, they’ve started saying “Federal Agents.”
The rapid response teams also reported that today’s ICE vehicles were driving regular cars with regular license plates and regular tags. “We had no idea it was them.” They also appear to have shifted their target areas, focusing on neighborhoods and side streets to grab landscapers and individuals while avoiding exposed areas with a significant public presence.
