US EditionImmigration Advocates Decry ICE Tactics in Vermont, Cite Constitutional Violations
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, JUL 2 – The lawsuit challenges mass arrests and racial profiling in immigration raids that have led to overcrowded detention and denial of legal counsel, according to civil rights groups.
- Two leaders in Vermont's immigrant rights movement, Jos Ignacio De La Cruz and Heidi Perez, were detained by Border Patrol on June 14 without clear justification near Richford, Vermont.
- Their detention follows a Trump administration directive from late May to make 3,000 immigration-related arrests daily, which advocates say has led to aggressive, racially biased enforcement across multiple states.
- Simultaneously, civil rights groups including the ACLU and United Farm Workers filed a 65-page federal lawsuit accusing federal agents of unconstitutional military-style raids in Southern California targeting Latino communities without warrants or proper identification.
- The complaint describes overcrowded 'dungeon-like' detention facilities, alleges racial profiling, and notes a judge found the raids likely violated the Constitution's ban on unreasonable searches, calling the raids a campaign prioritizing "numbers, pure numbers."
- These events have ignited protests, emergency rallies, and widespread calls for release of detainees, legal access, and legislative solutions like the Farm Workforce Modernization Act to address labor and immigration issues sustainably.
