Overview

• Surveillance video shows a federal officer in street clothes detaining a man at ConXión to Community in San José on Tuesday morning.
• The detention followed an attempt to pick up the same man at a Blossom Hill immigration check‑in site the previous day, when his wife was briefly detained and released.
• At a Wednesday press conference, Councilmember Peter Ortiz said San José will not tolerate tactics that intimidate residents and outlined work on a comprehensive immigrant support plan.
• Ortiz is pursuing a local rule to require federal agents to clearly identify themselves and to prohibit masks in most situations, reflecting a recently signed state law.
• ConXión leaders called the episode devastating for staff and clients, and the Rapid Response Network and an attorney are assisting the family as ICE did not comment.
