Videos prompt concern about ICE raids in California

In February 2026, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a surge of immigration raids in California, detaining multiple residents, including at least one US citizen. These actions sparked protests across southern California under the banner of the ‘ICE Out of Everywhere’ campaign. Demonstrators faced arrests and injuries during these protests. The raids occurred under the Trump administration, which had overseen an increase in immigration enforcement activities. Videos circulating online prompted concern and fueled the public response to the ICE operations.
