"He said agents were expected to be conducting knock and talk visits with some residents throughout the city, though he said neither U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement nor anyone from the Department of Homeland Security contacted him directly to discuss details of their actions. As far as I know, this is kind of a voluntary check they're doing. It's not heavy handed, he said, but he added, I don't have all the details."
