US EditionICE detains man, 30, inside California surgery center in heated confrontation
CALIFORNIA, JUL 8 – ICE agents detained Denis Guillen-Solis inside a surgical center without a warrant during a targeted operation, sparking confrontation with staff who demanded legal proof, advocates said.
- On Tuesday, federal immigration agents chased and arrested a 30-year-old Honduran landscaper inside Ontario Advanced Surgery Center in Southern California.
- The arrest followed a Department of Homeland Security post describing a targeted operation in Ontario to detain two men in the country illegally, although advocates doubt the operation was targeted.
- During the confrontation, clinic staff demanded identification and a warrant while shielding the man, leading to a tense standoff and accusations that the staff assaulted law enforcement and obstructed the arrest.
- Executive director Javier Hernandez called the clinic staff brave for questioning agents and said it was painful to watch the video footage showing the man crying and gasping for breath.
- The incident reflects an increase in public immigration detentions including workplaces and courts, prompting the bishop of San Bernardino to excuse parishioners from Mass following detentions on diocesan properties including Ontario.
