Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Mass Arrests and Raids Spark Nationwide Protests Against Immigration Enforcement
Caption: Mass Arrests and Raids Spark Nationwide Protests Against Immigration Enforcement. Immigration raids across California and Nebraska on Tuesday have ignited a wave of nationwide protests, targeting what activists call inhumane enforcement tactics. In Ventura County, California, ICE agents stormed farms and agricultural sites, arresting workers, many of whom are undocumented immigrants vital to the local economy. Congresswoman Julia Brownley and Congressman Salud Carbajal condemned the raids, calling them fear-driven and harmful to families who form the "backbone" of essential industries. Meanwhile in Omaha, Nebraska, dozens of workers were detained at Glenn Valley Foods, with the plant president questioning why his company was targeted despite following regulations. Los Angeles, where protests began on Friday, saw clashes and mass arrests Tuesday night after a curfew was enforced downtown. In New York, peaceful protests escalated into scuffles near ICE offices, as videos showed demonstrators being restrained and others throwing objects at police. Chicago protests turned dangerous when a vehicle sped through a crowd of demonstrators, reportedly hitting pedestrians and a cyclist before fleeing the scene. In Texas, protests erupted in several cities. In Austin, police used tear gas and arrested 13 people, while the state’s governor deployed the National Guard. San Francisco courts were forced to close after protests erupted outside immigration buildings. Activists reported arrests, though city police claimed no involvement. Demonstrations also took place in Denver, Santa Ana, Las Vegas, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Seattle, Boston, and Washington, DC, showing the national scale of outrage.
