Families arrested in LA Ice raids held in basements with little food or water, lawyers say
As federal agents rushed to arrest immigrants across Los Angeles, they confined detainees – including families with small children – in a stuffy office basement for days without sufficient food and water, according to immigration lawyers. One family with three children were held inside a Los Angeles-area administrative building for 48 hours after being arrested on Thursday immediately after an immigration court hearing, according to lawyers from the Immigrant Defenders Law Center (ImmDef), which is providing non-profit legal services in the region. The children, the youngest of whom is three years old, were provided a bag of chips, a box of animal crackers and a mini carton of milk as their sole rations for a day. Agents told the family they did not have any water to provide during the family's first day in detention; on the second day, all five were given a single bottle to share. The one fan in the room was pointed directly towards a guard, rather than towards the families in confinement, they told lawyers. 'Because it was primarily men held in these facilities, they didn't have separate quarters for families or for women,' said Yliana Johansen-Méndez, chief program officer at ImmDef. Clients explained that 'eventually they set up a makeshift tent in an outside area to house the women and children. But clearly, there were no beds, no showers.' They have since been transferred to a 'family detention' center in Dilley, Texas, a large-scale holding facility retrofitted to hold children with their parents that was reopened under the Trump administration. Lawyers, who had been largely blocked from communicating with immigrants arrested amid the ramped-up raids in LA, said family members were able to recount the ordeal only after they were moved out of state. The harrowing details are the first to emerge about the conditions that people are being held in following the immigration raids targeting LA-area businesses and neighborhoods. To quell the widespread protests that followed, Donald Trump sent in military troops despite opposition from California leaders. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has said that it arrested 118 immigrants on Friday and over the weekend. Others were arrested at immigration offices and courthouses in the days prior. ImmDef and other local advocacy groups had compiled a separate list of more than 80 people who were apprehended – though many of them still do not appear in the agency's online databases of detainees. Many of the people arrested were jailed ad hoc, in LA-area courthouses and administrative offices. Over the past several days, attorneys have taken shifts waiting outside federal immigration offices, attempting to speak to the immigrants, but federal agents and national guard troops have largely blocked lawyers and family members from visiting with those who were arrested, citing safety concerns amid widespread protests in the city. On Tuesday, the immigration court in downtown Los Angles had been shut down – and blocked off. DHS did not immediately respond to multiple Guardian queries about where it was holding people arrested in LA, and whether local offices had been given instruction to prepare supplies and facilities to hold immigrants prior to the large-scale raids in the region. Legal aid groups were also largely denied access to immigrants who were transferred to the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) processing center and detention center in Adelanto, in the high desert east of LA. 'Ice's excuse was, they're still processing all the new people,' said Johansen-Méndez. Over the weekend and on Monday, her colleagues were only permitted to visit with a handful of clients at the Adelanto detention center, even though they had called ahead to confirm that at least 40 people referred to the organization had been sent there. Several people have already been deported. Luis Angel Reyes Savalza, a deportation defense attorney supporting the affected families in LA, said at least one person who was bused to Mexico almost immediately after his arrest was not provided any paperwork or opportunity to contest his deportation. At least two others who were arrested at LA-area carwashes were deported to Tijuana, according to Flor Melendrez, executive director of the Clean Carwash Worker Center. Another person was told by agents to sign a paper if he wanted to visit an attorney, Johansen-Méndez said – but believes he was tricked into signing some sort of voluntary departure paperwork. 'Within hours, he was across the border to Mexico,' she said. Meanwhile, the family members of workers arrested at a clothing factory in downtown LA, in the parking lot at a Home Depot in the suburb of Paramount, and at a carwash in Culver City were desperately seeking answers about their loved ones' whereabouts. Landi, whose husband was arrested on Friday while he worked a shift at the Ambiance Apparel warehouse, said he had reported to work that day as normal. 'We never imagined he will be kidnapped by immigration,' she said at a news conference on Monday, outside the business's gates. The Guardian is not using her surname to protect her family's privacy and safety. 'The day he was kidnapped, my family went to request information about his abduction, but Ice told us he wasn't at the center,' she said. 'However, after much effort and struggle from our lawyer, Ice simply confirmed that he was there.' Families were not allowed to bring their loved ones jackets or medications, lawyers said. Those who were able to confer with attorneys reported that as holding facilities in the city became crowded with immigrants, families were rushed out to detention centers in California's high desert or in Texas. Agents confiscated belongings and provided little food or water, explaining to immigrants that the facilities had not prepared for the influx of detainees. Conditions in Adelanto were deteriorating as well, lawyers said. One of ImmDef's clients reported that meals were provided late, blankets and clothing were scarce, and some people were sleeping on the floor of a day-use recreational room as beds filled up. One client said he witnessed an older man's health dramatically decline after being denied medication for three days. On Sunday, Democratic US representatives Gilbert R Cisneros Jr, Judy Chu and Derek Tran said they were blocked from entering Adelanto. DHS did not respond to a query asking why lawyers and lawmakers have been denied access. With limited access to immigrants in detention, attorneys are also scrambling to understand the scope of the raids, and the extent to which the Department of Homeland Security has violated immigrants' rights. Related: US immigration officials raid California farms as Trump ramps up conflict One of the more unusual aspects of the large-scale militarized raids that began last week was that agents from Ice were joined by Customs and Border Protection officers, who are empowered to conduct warrantless stops – but only within 100 miles (160km) of the US border. Johansen-Méndez believes that the government has justified their presence in Los Angeles – which is more than 100 miles from the US-Mexico border – because the city touches the Pacific Ocean, which the administration could be considering as a 'border'. 'They're counting the entire coastline as a port of entry,' said Johansen-Méndez. 'It felt almost like an urban legend that it could be done. But at this point, it's just they're everywhere, literally.' Lawyers from ImmDef and other legal aid and advocacy groups have also been trying to piece together testimonies to better understand how and why immigration agents chose to sweep certain businesses and neighborhoods, and what justifications officers provided when stopping and apprehending people. 'How do they decide who they're going to ask for their papers and arrest, other than racially profiling?' Johansen-Méndez said. 'Did they just ask everyone in the room for their papers or just some people? Did they skip certain people that didn't fit the profile? We can't get that information because we can't talk to everyone.'

Judge rules Trump administration can no longer detain Mahmoud Khalil on claims he's a threat to foreign policy
A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration can no longer detain Columbia University graduate and Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil on the basis of federal claims that he is a threat to US foreign policy. In his order on Wednesday, Judge Michael E Farbiarz said that the ruling will go into effect at 9.30am on Friday, adding: 'This is to allow the respondents to seek appellate review should they wish to.' Khalil, who has not been charged with a crime, had been deemed a threat to US foreign policy by secretary of state, Marco Rubio, prompting federal authorities to detain him in March. In his ruling, Farbiarz wrote: 'The petitioner's career and reputation are being damaged and his speech is being chilled – and this adds up to irreparable harm.' Despite his latest order, Farbiarz did note that Khalil can still remain in custody on the basis of federal officials' claims that Khalil inaccurately filled out his green card application. 'To be sure, it might be argued that the petitioner would be detained anyway. After all, as noted above, the Department of Homeland Security is seeking to remove the petitioner based not only on the Secretary of State's determination – but also on a second basis, the Petitioner's alleged failure to accurately complete his lawful-permanent-resident application,' Farbiarz wrote. He added that his findings 'have no impact on efforts to remove the petitioner for reasons other than the Secretary of State's determination'. Khalil has been held in a detention facility in Louisiana since March as his case moved through the courts. In April, an immigration judge in Louisiana ruled the Trump administration could move ahead with Khalil's deportation, although Farbiarz, in a separate case on the legality of the detention, ordered the government not to remove him. Late last month, Farbiarz wrote that the government's effort was likely unconstitutional. His arrest was the first in the wave of arrests of students as part of the Trump administration's crackdown on pro-Palestinian activism in US universities. In the weeks after Khalil's arrest, the government arrested an international Tufts student who had co-authored a campus newspaper op-ed about Gaza in the street and a Columbia student attending a naturalization interview and sought to deport a Columbia student who had lived in the US since she was seven. Khalil was taken into custody on 8 March by immigration agents who refused to provide a warrant, he had previously said. He described his time in custody in Louisiana as 'long days bearing witness to the quiet injustices underway against a great many people precluded from the protections of the law'. While being detained he missed the birth of his first child, whom he briefly met last month and was able to hold despite the government attempting to block a 'contact visit'. Earlier this month, he described the pain of missing the birth of the baby, who is named Deen. 'Instead of holding my wife's hand in the delivery room, I was crouched on a detention center floor, whispering through a crackling phone line as she labored alone,' Khalil said. 'I listened to her pain, trying to comfort her while 70 other men slept around me. When I heard my son's first cries, I buried my face in my arms so no one would see me weep.'

Live updates: Protests against Trump ICE raids flare across US
Update: Date: Title: Hundreds gather in San Antonio as anti-ICE protests spread Content: Hundreds of people gathered in San Antonio, Texas, late Wednesday to protest against raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to CNN affiliate KSAT. The protests were peaceful and there were no reports of violence, KSAT reported. 'I'm here because I want to be a voice for the people that are too scared to come out here and speak their own truth,' one protester told KSAT. The gathering started before 7 p.m. local time with a crowd of about 100 people, before swelling to hundreds by about 9 p.m., according to KSAT. Texas' governor deployed the Texas National Guard to San Antonio ahead of the protests. San Antonio Police Chief William McManus said Wednesday that officers would intervene if 'it turns violent,' KSAT reported. Troops with the Texas Department of Public Safety were seen patrolling the area as San Antonio police officers drove through downtown, according to KSAT. Update: Date: Title: Seattle firefighters extinguish dumpster fire as police work to disperse crowds Content: Firefighters in Seattle extinguished a dumpster fire that was set on the road and police were still working to disperse protesters just before midnight, according to the city's police department. Videos shot on Wednesday night showed a large crowd on the streets and a fire burning at an intersection. At points, protesters threw items into the fire, including a traffic cone. The fire department 'has extinguished the dumpster fire. Police are attempting to get crowd to disperse,' the police department wrote on X. 'Officers continue moving the groups away from the federal building. Individuals are shining lasers at officers as well as throwing rocks and bottles at them. We will continue to move protestors until the individuals stop assaulting officers,' it wrote. Update: Date: Title: Protests are flaring across the US. Here's what you need to know Content: Protests flared Wednesday night across the US, with two cities imposing curfews and police working to disperse crowds late into the night. In Los Angeles, police declared an unlawful assembly outside City Hall ahead of the curfew taking effect. CNN Correspondent Nick Watt reported seeing 20 to 30 people being taken into custody ahead of curfew. The protests began on Friday in LA after ICE immigration raids that detained dozens of people, including at their workplaces. Here's the latest: Update: Date: Title: Trump administration officials dig in on president's decision to deploy military Content: Trump administration officials are doubling down on their defense of President Donald Trump's decision to mobilize National Guard troops and Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested to lawmakers yesterday that Trump's order on Saturday to federalize the National Guard was also intended to create a precedent so that playbook could be replicated in other states. 'Part of it was about getting ahead of the problem, so that if in other places, if there are other riots, in places where law enforcement officers are threatened, we would have the capability to surge National Guard there, if necessary,' Hegseth said. Hegseth said that 'thankfully, in most of those states, you'd have a governor that recognizes the need for it, supports it and mobilizes it, him or herself. In California, unfortunately, the governor wants to play politics with it.' Attorney General Pam Bondi said Wednesday the Trump administration 'is not scared to go further' in expanding its legal authorities to deploy troops in Los Angeles. 'Right now in California, we're at a good point. We're not scared to go further. We're not frightened to do something else if we need to,' she said when answering questions at the White House from CNN about the threshold for invoking the Insurrection Act, which permits the president to use military forces to end an insurrection or rebellion on US soil.
