""to create a comprehensive immigrant support plan.""
A plainclothes federal immigration officer arrested a man at a San José day laborer center, alarming staff and community members. Local leaders and councilmembers described the arrest as a disturbing departure from typical detention practices and urged coordinated responses. Ortiz and other councilmembers are drafting a memo asking the city of San José, Santa Clara County, and community-based organizations to create a comprehensive immigrant support plan. The nonprofit director said the center has long provided trusted services including work placement, food assistance, classes, job training, laundry, showers, and other necessities. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement did not respond to a request for comment.
