Furthermore, the community organizations are worried about the increasing scams targeting immigrants, urging individuals to be cautious and know their rights, including confirming identities and not signing documents without understanding them.
"If you seek to scam or otherwise take advantage of California's immigrant communities, you will be held accountable," said Attorney General Rob Bonta.
"This is not just cruel; it is illegal," stated immigrant advocate Primitiva Hernandez regarding the impersonation of ICE officials.
