U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents pursued a Honduran landscaper into a Southern California surgical center, resulting in a standoff with clinic staff. Medical personnel demanded identification and a warrant from the agents as the man struggled and cried. The incident highlights an escalation in ICE's visibility and tactics, as the agency has recently intensified operations to detain migrants in diverse public settings, including during services at Catholic churches. The bishop of San Bernardino has excused parishioners from Mass obligations in response to immigration detentions at two parish properties.
The tense standoff unfolded as medical staff at the Ontario Advanced Surgery Center insisted that ICE agents present a warrant while trying to detain a Honduran landscaper.
