Thus far, the majority of the arrests and incoming reports of ICE-related activities are centered around the La Colonia neighborhood in Oxnard, which, Basurto noted, is a neighborhood where the majority of the residents are migrant farmworkers. ICE agents have also made arrests in recent months where the individual they are seeking, identified in a photo, for example, is not the person they end up taking into custody, she added
“The simple explanation is they are trying to meet a quota for the admiration they’re now under,” Basurto said in response to a question as to why ICE would be targeting these Central Coast neighborhoods now. “We don’t know how they work. They use tactics that are meant to intimidate and instill fear for migrant communities. … A lot of arrests that are occurring, they don’t have warrants for them.”

“They arrested someone”
Kidnapped. The word is kidnapped.
Conches said that a man pulled up to the gas station at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Sunday to fill up his truck. Several cars, including a Ford Explorer and Toyota Tacoma, then surrounded the man. “There were at least six cars. There were a lot of cars,” Conches recalled in a video posted by 805 UndocuFund on Instagram.
The man was taken by ICE agents, and his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” Conches said. “They left the children inside the truck.”
Wow, that’s um… pretty cool. Fuck.
admiration for the administration??
That’s the point.
