A 47-year-old woman from Guadalajara, Mexico, was taken to Stanford Hospital for treatment after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained her Monday morning in East Palo Alto, according to officials and family members. Speaking through a Spanish translator, the woman's father, Armando Rodriguez Garcia, said his daughter, her husband and their child were heading to work and school when agents stopped them. The agents tried to detain the woman's husband but he escaped. The woman, however, lost consciousness and agents took her to the hospital.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Salvadoran immigrant whose mistaken deportation from the United States to his country of origin made him a symbol of Donald Trump's hardline deportation policy, was detained again this Monday by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) when he appeared for an immigration court hearing in Baltimore, Maryland, regarding his case. His lawyer, Simon Sandoval-Moshenberg, reported that Abrego, 30, could be expelled again this time to Costa Rica or Uganda.

City leaders are expected to rally Thursday in Lower Manhattan to demand the release of another New York City public school student who was detained by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Advocates rallied outside the federal courthouse, emphasizing the situation surrounding Guillermo Medina Reyes, a Bay Area community organizer, who has lived in the U.S. since age six.

"Inside, basically it was very cold. The food was pretty bad. Just the condition in general. The fact that over 70 men are in one space, so you don't have privacy whatsoever."

"I was the first pro-Palestinian campus protester to be jailed by the Trump administration. The ongoing threat of deportation hangs over me despite my release."

"I shared a dorm with over 70 men, absolutely no privacy, lights on all the time. I spent my days listening to one tragic story after another..."

The chaos began when around 50 detainees at the facility became agitated over delayed meals, leading to a physical confrontation that resulted in the inmates escaping.
