Driven by Stephen Miller’s 3,000-arrest quota, the interior raids have triggered mass protests from Los Angeles to the Central Valley.

Overview

  • ICE conducted coordinated raids this week at Home Depot parking lots, factories, construction sites and blueberry farms in Los Angeles and Northern California.
  • The operations aimed to fulfill a 3,000-arrests-per-day mandate from White House adviser Stephen Miller, resulting in hundreds of detentions of undocumented workers.
  • Mass demonstrations have swept Los Angeles, with Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass condemning the deployment of National Guard troops and Marines in response to the unrest.
  • Immigration attorneys report that families and individual detainees were held in cramped basements with insufficient food, water and access to legal counsel.
  • Experts warn that large-scale deportations could worsen labor shortages in agriculture, construction and food processing, stalling economic growth.
