The Orange County Rapid Response Network, comprising volunteers, organizers, and lawyers, helps immigrants combat detention and deportation, becoming particularly active amidst recent ICE enforcement activities. Following reports of ICE agents operating in various public locations, the network mobilized to confirm sightings and assist affected individuals. Founded at the onset of the Trump administration, the organization has adapted to shifting immigration policies under different administrations, signaling a persistent struggle between immigrant advocacy and enforcement actions in a diverse community where contrasting views on immigration are prevalent.
"O.C. Rapid Response was founded by a group of advocates and lawyers at the start of Donald Trump's first term, responding to fears of ICE's aggressive tactics."
"The network circulated warnings on social media, reached out to immigration lawyers, and guided family members through a kit on the 'immediate steps to support your loved ones.'"
