ICE in Irvine Councilmember warns undocumented immigrants to stay home

Irvine, CALocal News

Ongoing federal immigration raids in Southern California prompted Irvine City Councilmember Kathleen Treseder to advise undocumented immigrants to stay home for safety. Reports indicated ICE agents would target 8 to 10 locations in Irvine, leading Treseder to urge community vigilance and support for vulnerable residents. Protests against ICE's enforcement tactics have intensified, particularly in Los Angeles and Santa Ana, where demonstrators have clashed with law enforcement. The Department of Homeland Security Secretary announced federal agents would remain in the area until order is restored, with President Trump deploying additional military personnel to assist. Community leaders reported incidents of ICE disrupting elementary school graduations and courthouses, sparking outrage among residents.

Treseder provided tips for witnesses of ICE raids, including documenting events and contacting local rapid response hotlines. The unrest reflects widespread anger over perceived overreach by ICE and its enforcement methods. Community solidarity is emphasized as residents are encouraged to check on each other during this turbulent period.
