Presence of ICE Inside Glendale Hospital Denounced by Local Leaders, Immigration Activists

MCALLEN, TEXAS, JUL 7 – The FBI is investigating the ambush where a shooter was killed and a police officer wounded as attacks on immigration enforcement have increased nearly 700% this year, officials said.

  • On July 3, Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers took Milagro Solis Portillo into custody near her residence in Sherman Oaks, after which she received medical care at Glendale Memorial Hospital.
  • The detention followed Portillo's prior removals and arrests for false identification and theft, amid rising tensions over ICE enforcement and hospital involvement.
  • Local leaders and immigration activists held a press conference on July 7 denouncing ICE's constant presence in the hospital lobby as intimidating to patients and staff.
  • Senator Sasha Renee Perez emphasized that all individuals should receive medical care in a setting that is secure and without any form of intimidation, while the hospital stated it is legally unable to prevent law enforcement from being present in publicly accessible areas.
  • The incident highlights ongoing conflicts over ICE operations, medical care access, and increasing attacks on immigration officers, which the Department of Justice is actively monitoring.
