Bill Melugin reported on a Border Patrol raid in Sacramento that resulted in 11 arrests. His coverage faced scrutiny from local producer Jodi Bacon, who called it grimy and protested the targeting of individuals for no reason. Melugin responded sharply to Bacon's criticism, questioning her role and reporting responsibilities. The chaotic raid drew concerns from California Assemblymember Rhodesia Ransom about the jurisdiction of Border Patrol's actions. Immigration attorney Arturo Benavidez emphasized legal limitations on detaining individuals purely based on race, underscoring the need for probable cause in arrests.
The raid, described by witnesses as chaotic, led to 11 arrests, including a U.S. citizen, during a Border Patrol operation documented by Fox News.
