California ICE Raids Detain Thousands, Including Families and Longtime Residents

Immigration enforcement under Trump's second term raises concerns as many detainees lack criminal records and have deep community ties.

Recent ICE raids in California have led to the detention of thousands, including individuals with no criminal records and strong community ties.
Governor Gavin Newsom signed a $25 million bill to fund legal services for immigrants facing deportation proceedings.
Less than half of the 8,276 people arrested nationwide in late January had criminal convictions, according to government data.
Advocacy groups report widespread fear and confusion among immigrant communities, with protests and legal aid efforts intensifying.
Critics argue that the raids target families and non-criminals, contradicting Trump's campaign focus on deporting dangerous individuals.
