Recent Border Patrol operations in Sacramento, including a significant raid at a Home Depot parking lot, have resulted in at least 12 arrests, igniting concerns among local residents and leaders. The raids, which officials claim are intended to demonstrate that sanctuary status offers no protection from federal immigration enforcement, have led to confusion and fear within the community. Local authorities, including California Governor Newsom and Representative Ami Bera, have voiced their concerns and criticized the federal actions as detrimental to democratic principles. Videos capturing the arrests show masked agents detaining individuals, including U.S. citizens, raising questions about the legality of such operations so far from the southern border. As the situation unfolds, the Sacramento region grapples with the implications of these raids on immigrant rights and community safety.
