ICE continues to conduct arrests at courthouses, despite arguments that these actions deter individuals from participating in the legal process. Congressman DeSaulnier emphasizes the need for accountability among immigration agents, particularly regarding their covert tactics. He witnessed asylum seekers in court and believes that their participation is crucial. Reports of ICE activity heighten concerns that the agency's tactics may prevent individuals from attending essential immigration proceedings, thus compromising their rights and reinforcing fear within the immigrant community. DeSaulnier denounces these practices as contradictory to American values of law and order.
As many individuals who need to use these courts are already living in fear, we should be encouraging immigrants to attend court as instructed, not making them even more afraid to appear.
It is totally unacceptable for federal immigration officers to disguise themselves during raids, making it difficult for people to determine the officer's true identity.
