Amanda Trebach, an ICU nurse and member of the immigrant rights group Unión del Barrio, was arrested while monitoring ICE activities in Los Angeles. She was participating in a peace patrol outside Terminal Island when masked agents detained her. Trebach describes being forced to an unmarked vehicle without being read her rights or informed of her destination. After community support led to her release without charges, she reaffirmed her commitment to support her immigrant neighbors amid growing threats to their safety.
"They took me into an unmarked vehicle. They did not read me my rights. They didn't tell me where I was going," says Trebach, who was detained overnight before being released without charges the following evening after an outpouring of community support.
Amanda was participating in a peace patrol outside Terminal Island, a Coast Guard base used by ICE and Customs and Border Protection as a hub for operations in California.
Dozens of volunteers have routinely stationed themselves outside Terminal Island to monitor the movement of the federal vehicles streaming in and out of the staging area.
Footage of Amanda Trebach's arrest shows two plainclothes, masked agents pinning her against the pavement as they kneel on her back and head to handcuff her.
