Anaheim Confirms Multiple Weekend Immigration Raids With At Least Six Arrests

City leaders denounce opaque tactics used without advance notice to local police.

Overview

  • Anaheim says at least six people were arrested in multiple federal immigration operations across the city over the weekend.
  • At the Euclid Car Wash, agents in black SUVs and a white van deployed what appeared to be a smoke canister and detained a bystander who was later released.
  • Additional activity included at least five detentions at the Home Depot on North Brookhurst Street on Saturday and a targeted operation near Orangethorpe Avenue and Kellogg Drive on Sunday.
  • One detainee, Isaac Dominguez, identified as a U.S. citizen, is seen on video saying he could not breathe as agents pinned him to the ground.
  • Anaheim has joined other cities in a lawsuit challenging the tactics, saying the raids have destabilized families and neighborhoods.
