We’re seeing an uptick in ICE activity again, and the number of reports we’re seeing is starting to match the daily averages from last year, when ICE and Border Patrol burst violently onto L.A.'s streets.
On Tuesday, there were about a dozen incidents reported, while yesterday, Wednesday, we also saw about the same number. Around 15 people were taken by ICE on Tuesday and Wednesday in the Southland.
In North Hills, according to the sister-in-law who spoke with L.A. TACO, a young man was taken by ICE agents as he waited in a car for a co-worker around 5:45 a.m. ICE agents surrounded his vehicle and took him, and chased two other individuals down the street. At least four people were taken in total. The agents were confirmed to be from the Camarillo ICE field office, not Los Angeles. They were later spotted scouting around the Children’s Refugee Center around 9:00 a.m.
In San Diego, a heartbreaking scene was filmed when ICE and ERO were taking a mother from her community as distraught family members cried out.
