Undocumented Man Taken By ICE in Front of Home in San Jose

"Advocates warn of ongoing isolated ICE raids after an undocumented immigrant was detained in front of his San Jose home Saturday despite the Trump administration calling off the mass deployment of federal agents in the Bay Area earlier this week. As NBC Bay Area reports, federal agents with the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement approached Gerardo, 42, in his driveway as he was leaving for work at 7:45 am Saturday, which was captured on the family's Ring camera (included in the below video clip)."

"The footage then shows Gerardo's wife Idalia attempting to intervene and asking for a warrant. Neighbors also caught parts of the incident on video, which they posted on social media. Idalia told NBC Bay Area there were seven or eight agents at the scene, at least three of whom weren't wearing uniforms, and none of them identified themselves. She said an agent used a taser on Gerardo, and a woman who wasn't in uniform hit her 22-year-old daughter with a baton,"

"Prior to Saturday's incident, about 50 agents were spotted in San Jose on September 10 when at least one person was arrested, per NBC Bay Area. Additionally, at least 13 immigrants were taken into custody in San Francisco on August 28, with seven detained outside an apartment complex near 10th and Harrison streets, according to Milli Atkinson, director of the San Francisco Immigrant Legal Defense Program, per NBC Bay Area."

Federal immigration agents detained an undocumented man, Gerardo, in his San Jose driveway at 7:45 a.m. while he was leaving for work, with the moment captured on the family’s Ring camera. His wife, Idalia, attempted to intervene and asked for a warrant as neighbors recorded parts of the incident. Idalia reported seven or eight agents at the scene, including at least three not in uniform who did not identify themselves. She says an agent used a taser on Gerardo and an ununiformed woman struck her 22-year-old daughter with a baton, prompting contact with the Mexican consulate and a rapid response hotline. Prior Bay Area deployments and earlier arrests occurred despite a federal pause on operations.
