Los Angeles ICE Agents Kidnapped US Citizen Andrea Velez, Says Her Lawyer
Briefly

Federal agents and local law enforcement are conducting immigration arrests to meet quotas from the Trump administration, resulting in racial profiling. Armed, masked agents are causing fear in U.S. communities and complicating families' efforts to locate arrested individuals. ICE often denies custody of individuals, prompting families to frantically seek information. In a notable case, Yuriana Juliana Pelaez Calderon was apprehended at gunpoint, exacerbating concerns about her treatment and health needs. Lawyers express that arrests occur without sufficient inquiry or process, contributing to an alarming atmosphere of intimidation.
