Immigration Advocates Decry ICE Tactics in Vermont, Cite Constitutional Violations
- Two immigrant leaders, José Ignacio De La Cruz and Heidi Perez, were detained by Border Patrol agents in Vermont on June 14 without clear justification, sparking community protests.
- These detentions followed an ICE directive to make 3,000 arrests daily starting in late May, linked to aggressive raids in California and Vermont targeting mostly Latino neighborhoods without warrants.
- A 65-page federal lawsuit filed by the ACLU and allied groups accuses federal agents of unconstitutional raids across Southern California, detaining people without warrants, denying legal counsel, and holding detainees in overcrowded conditions.
- The lawsuit cites raids involving 60 armed agents in locations like Los Angeles swap meets and warehouses, and alleges actions based on race or occupation violate Fourth and Fifth Amendments.
- Officials deny racial targeting and poor detention conditions, but the legal challenge and public outcry highlight tensions surrounding immigration enforcement tactics and constitutional rights.
