In recent days, ICE agents have aggressively stationed themselves in Bay Area courthouses, potentially intimidating immigrants and deterring them from attending their hearings. Legal advocates express concern, claiming this presence infringes on individuals' rights to legal representation, while one man was reported arrested outside a Concord court. Reports indicate that ICE's actions are part of a broader strategy to expedite deportation proceedings under the current administration, raising alarms among immigrant rights groups about the legality and ethical implications of such tactics.
It's outrageous and unprecedented. People have the right to be heard in court. ICE is scaring people away from exercising that right.
This is a tactic to terrify people. I've gotten so many messages asking if it's safe to go to court.
