ICE Agents Wait Outside Courthouses to Detain Undocumented Immigrants and People Are Terrified
Richard Urdaneta Pulido’s papers were scattered across the floor as his girlfriend collapsed, overwhelmed by emotion, yelling his name in desperation. The 25-year-old was surrounded and apprehended by five federal immigration agents immediately after leaving an immigration courtroom in downtown Los Angeles last week. His girlfriend, whose identity remains protected for safety reasons, watched in disbelief as Pulido was taken through a restricted elevator area, shouting his name one final time. This incident underscores a contentious escalation in federal immigration enforcement, with agents increasingly detaining individuals moments after their cases have been dismissed in courtrooms nationwide. Legal experts and advocates argue that such actions are fostering a climate of uncertainty and fear for immigrants seeking to comply with the legal system, likening these practices to an alarming shift in immigration policy and enforcement tactics.
