"Fear is rampant,"
"Despite our policies, we are not immune."
"The images and the videos that we're watching on television and on our small screens should outrage every American. When we see masked, armed, poorly trained ICE agents breaking down doors without warrants, dragging unclothed elderly people into the freezing cold, executing mothers and nurses in the street, we as federal and local officials have to take a stand."
Aggressive immigration enforcement has led to people being detained at court hearings, held in substandard facilities not designed for human occupancy, and hospitalized after forceful removals from vehicles. Community members in the Bay Area report rampant fear and visible outrage. Lawmakers, community representatives and faith leaders gathered in San Jose to condemn violent ICE actions and to demand investigations and accountability for agency personnel and overseeing officials. Graphic images and videos of armed agents breaking down doors, dragging unclothed elderly people into freezing conditions, and deadly encounters have intensified calls for moderation of tactics and for limiting ICE authority through resolutions and legislation.
