ICE agents detain one person in Santa Cruz County, local watchdog group reports

Your Allied Rapid Response for Santa Cruz County, or YARR, shared in a series of social media posts that an individual was reportedly taken Sunday in the Rodriguez Street area by agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The group, comprised of trained volunteers that verify and document immigration enforcement activity across the county, wrote that multiple unmarked vehicles were reported, including two sedans and two large SUVs. The agents apparently knocked on multiple doors at a single property near Watsonville High School, the group stated, and left when no one answered.
