US EditionICE Raids: What Are Your Rights when Approached by an Immigration Officer?
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted multiple raids across Southern California in June 2025, arresting at least 118 people including workers at Ambiance Apparel in Los Angeles.
- These immigration raids come as President Trump has broadened his deportation efforts to include not only individuals with criminal records but also migrant laborers, certain student activists, and tourists facing visa complications, prompting strong protests in Los Angeles.
- Advocates emphasize detainees have the right to remain silent, refuse to answer about immigration status, and consult legal counsel after agents leave, while businesses are urged to prepare response plans and notify legal representation immediately.
- By early June, ICE detained approximately 51,000 undocumented migrants—the highest total since 2019—and made about 660 arrests daily during Trump's first 100 days, while officials claim operations focus on criminals and public safety threats.
- The raids have increased tensions locally and internationally, with cases like TikTok star Khaby Lame's detention drawing attention, and National Guard troops deployed in downtown Los Angeles to manage unrest.
