Overview

  • ABC7 reports Felix Morales Gomez was arrested by ICE on Monday in a Corona Home Depot parking lot while waiting for work and is being held at the Adelanto facility.
  • Althoff says the longtime family friend has no criminal convictions and lacks legal status, and she alleges agents used an unmarked vehicle, skipped reading rights, and pressured him to sign papers.
  • Her TikTok detailing the detention drew more than 1.6 million views, with highly partisan reactions as she urged influencers to speak up despite losing followers.
  • ICE told TMZ there is "no safe haven for violent criminal illegal aliens" and officials said agents will be present at Super Bowl LX.
  • Recent coverage cites ICE data from July showing 71.7 percent of people detained under the current administration had no criminal convictions.
