In San Jose, officials confirmed that ICE agents conducted an operation over the weekend, focusing on one or two individuals. Eyewitnesses reported no detentions despite the presence of the agents, which heightened community fears, particularly among migrant families. Mayor Matt Mahan acknowledged the operation, emphasizing that local police would not participate in immigration enforcement. This climate of fear is exacerbated by recent executive orders regarding immigration policy, affecting the everyday lives of residents who are frightened to engage in normal activities like shopping or dining out.
Though KTVU does add that eyewitnesses didn't see anyone being detained based on the agents' actions and what their workers present heard.
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan confirmed the operations in a statement to KRON4. Our police department was notified today that ICE is carrying out an operation in San Jose, Mahan's statement said.
This part of east side is hugely migrant families, many of which are scared to shop or dine out amid the recent POTUS executive orders on immigration.
Social media posts indicate the agents were at these locations somewhere between 12:30 pm and 3:30 pm Sunday afternoon.
