"An ICE detainment was caught on camera at a San Jose nonprofit which has supported the immigrant community in the South Bay for nearly 50 years. The San Jose Rapid Response Network says Tuesday morning, targeted immigration activity led to the arrest of a man inside of the day laborer center at ConXión to Community. The day prior, the network says the man fled an ICE check-in office after his wife was detained - leading to a warrant to be served for his arrest."
"ConXión staff couldn't believe that men in plain clothes, showing a warrant on their phone and saying they were police officers, were in fact ICE agents there to arrest the man. "We've had them come by, but never just pulled out like that," Chavez said. "If we see them, we lock doors, pull everybody in, and not even just to keep them there, but to move them back so that they feel safer - because you see what happened.""
An ICE detainment occurred inside a San Jose day-labor nonprofit, ConXión to Community, and was captured on camera. The San Jose Rapid Response Network reported that targeted immigration activity led to the arrest after the man fled an ICE check-in following his wife's detention, triggering a warrant. Staff said agents in plain clothes presented a warrant on a phone and identified themselves as police, then took the man into custody. Local leaders and nonprofits condemned the operation and expressed that the incident endangers community trust. The Rapid Response Network advised businesses and nonprofits to review safety protocols, identify ICE agents, demand warrants, and contact the Rapid Response Network.
