Two Days of ICE Raids Target Undocumented Workers at Various Businesses in Northern California; Owners Nervous
Nearly 100 people rallied outside of the ICE field office in downtown San Francisco on Jan. 25 in protest of the planned ICE raids, according to El Tecolote newspaper.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents raided 77 businesses in Northern California for two days beginning Jan. 29, with the aim of weeding out undocumented employees.
Indian American Rep. Ro Khanna, D-California, in a statement issued Feb.1, decried the worksite enforcement actions: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, this is wrong.”
“I firmly believe, as I know many of my colleagues and neighbors in our communities do, that law enforcement must prioritize criminals and not tear apart undocumented families who pose no threats to public safety,” said Khanna.
