‘You are being deported': San Pablo police warn of immigration scam
(KRON) — Residents have been warned by the San Pablo Police Department (SPPD) about an immigration scam. Law enforcement has been notified about a scam — possible prank — that claims to be immigration officials. The scam is reported to demand personal information and/or payment.
Packages have been distributed to prank community members, according to SPPD. One example is a package that reads, 'you are being deported,' which is pictured below. This package claims to have official documents inside, says SPPD.

SPPD warned residents of the following.
Real immigration officials will never ask for payments over the phone or threaten immediate action.
Do not share personal details with unknown callers or messages.
If you receive suspicious communication, don't engage—report it!
As of Monday evening, San Pablo police have not received calls about immigration scams. Residents are encouraged to call SPPD at 510-724-1111 if they receive any suspicious notifications.
This immigration scam comes at a time when concerns in the Bay Area immigrant community have risen since President Donald Trump assumed office in January. ICE agents conducting operations in cities like San Jose and Concord have led to these concerns.

Jacksonville community groups speak out against immigration raids across the nation
People gathered in Jacksonville to stand in solidarity with protestors in Los Angeles calling for an end to immigration raids. It comes as President Donald Trump sends the military to California to crack down on those protests. Dozens of people have been arrested, with law enforcement claiming the protests have turned violent. On the other side of the country, protestors made their voices heard Monday night outside the Duval County Courthouse. 'We are calling for due process,' said Katie Chorbak, with 50501 Veterans. 'That's a guaranteed freedom in the Constitution, and that is not happening. It's being usurped. With ICE raids, a lot of people are being deported to a foreign country without due process. So we need to stop the ICE raids.' >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<< [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks] Jacksonville community groups also shouted in support of union leader David Huerta. Federal agents arrested Huerta in California last week for interfering with immigration enforcement. He was released from federal custody Monday on a $50,000 bond after a hearing in federal court in Los Angeles. As tensions remain high in Los Angeles, Jamison Collin-Morita with the Jacksonville Immigrant Rights Alliance said she's seen more local families living in fear of similar raids. 'I think that it's really important that when people are scared like this and they feel like they can't come out to these protests, they feel like they can't be visible - so we have to be visible for them,' said Collin-Morita. She added that they will continue to stand with Los Angeles and communities across the country. 'We have a large movement behind us, and we will not rest until these raids are put to an end,' said Collin-Morita. Many protestors said they will be back out on Tuesday protesting a proposed ordinance in city council. That ordinance would block any city money from going to undocumented migrants [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter]

Dozens Arrested at Trump Tower Immigration Protest
Police arrested at least two dozen individuals protesting Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the lobby of Trump Tower in Manhattan on Monday. Law enforcement said the protesters will be charged with trespassing, The New York Daily News reported. Photographs of the scene show members of the group holding signs reading 'Due Process Is A Right For Everyone,' 'I.C.E. and DHS Are Violating the Constitution, and 'Free the CECOT Detainees,' referring to the notorious prison in El Salvador. 'Bring them back! Bring them home!' the protesters chanted. Police blared an audio recording warning that they would be arrested if they didn't leave the Fifth Avenue building. 'This is the New York City Police Department. You are occupying these premises unlawfully and without permission. I am ordering you to leave these premises now. If you refuse to leave, you may be subject to arrest,' the recording said. Moments later, they began using zip-tie handcuffs on protesters and leading them out. The Daily News reported that a second, larger protest was planned later Monday outside an ICE holding facility in lower Manhattan, where on Saturday several arrests were made during a pro-immigration protest. At that location on Sunday, CBS News reported, two New York members of Congress said they were denied entry to the building's 10th floor, where immigration advocates claim individuals are being held in inhumane conditions. Monday's scene in one of Donald Trump's most well-known buildings occurred as protesters in Los Angeles have been squaring off with National Guard troops over immigration raids. Trump, who activated the troops without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom or Mayor Karen Bass, on Monday mobilized 500 Marines to join them. 'In light of increased threats against federal officers and federal buildings, 500 active-duty U.S. Marines from Camp Pendleton will be deployed to Los Angeles to help protect federal agents and buildings,' a senior Trump administration official told the Daily Beast. Newsom said his state would sue the administration over the National Guard deployment.
