'If the immigrant community feels less safe and afraid…witnesses [are] less likely to come forward,' said California Rep. Mike Thompson.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents have reportedly arrested two people at a Northern California courthouse, ignoring a recently introduced state law barring immigration agents from making arrests at such facilities.ICE made the arrests on Tuesday at the Sonoma County Superior Court.
Pozzi had reportedly worked with Democratic California Rep. Mike Thompson's office to obtain the identities of the two people who were arrested. However, she said she was unable to make them public due to attorney-client privilege rules., Thompson said the courthouse arrests would put everyone at risk when it comes to public safety.
With the BORTAC unit receiving specialized training in areas such as advanced weapon skills and defensive tactics, immigration activists and politicians have condemned the plan, accusing the federal government of seeking to punish sanctuary states and cities by ramping up enforcement tactics. In a separate statement, a DHS spokesperson said"the crisis at the border affects communities throughout the United States and has a huge impact on ICE."
