Thursday. November 6th. It’s day 154.
The number of verified reports is growing each day. Today, there are 23 verified incidents with more than 30 people taken across the southland. Most of that was targeted around Santa Ana, where at least 25 people were taken in 18 verified incidents.
We are starting to see a new pattern and strategy from Border Patrol crews here in the Southland: intensifying their operations and targeting specific neighborhoods, rather than having crews roam random parts of the city.
We’re seeing the same squad of masked male agents, one unmasked, with a couple of masked female agents doing most of the racial profiling and kidnapping. They’re still targeting open spaces like Home Depot parking lots and car washes, but now focusing more on people walking the streets, especially daytime street vendors.
