ICE agents detained at least six individuals in Oakland, including a minor and someone with a severe disability. The detentions were confirmed after a call to the Alameda County Immigration Legal Education Partnership's rapid response hotline. Centro Legal, working with ACILEP, aims to connect individuals with legal aid during ICE operations. The Oakland Police Department has acknowledged targeted enforcement, although no further details were provided. Community calls were crucial in verifying ICE activity and connecting detainees with legal support.
"I pressed with ICE the illegality of detention of a child under these circumstances, and they will either release or move to a child detention center tonight."
"It was thanks to the calls we received from the community and family that we were able to verify the activity and connect them with Niko [De Bremaeker] for legal support."
