The Alameda County Sheriff's Office said Sunday it has seen federal immigration enforcement taking place outside Santa Rita Jail in Dublin, as reported ICE arrests continue across the East Bay.
"More recently, the Sheriff's Office has observed federal immigration enforcement take place outside of Santa Rita Jail," the office said in a statement reported by CBS News Bay Area, which also restated its policy of not assisting ICE. CBS reported that ICE confirmed at least five people were detained in the East Bay on Thursday, Nov. 5, and that the Alameda County Immigration Legal and Education Partnership (ACILEP) reported four people picked up in Oakland on Saturday, Nov. 7.
ACILEP said three people were detained near Paseo Laguna Seco and Corte Reina Common in Livermore about 9 a.m. Nov. 5, another in the Grocery Outlet parking lot on Railroad Avenue that afternoon, and a fifth outside the East County Hall of Justice courthouse in Dublin, according to KRON4 and the Livermore Vine. Livermore police said they do not work with ICE on immigration enforcement. DHS told the Vine it would not discuss operations.
The administration's view: Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin posted "Deportations will continue" two days after the Nov. 3 election, CBS reported. A protest organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation drew demonstrators to Fruitvale Plaza on Sunday. Details on reported incidents are on our ICE activity tracker.
