In a morning operation that left the community shaken, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents conducted a raid at a local car wash on the corner of Union Avenue and Harbor Boulevard on Sunday, August 24, around 10 AM. Witnesses reported that two individuals were taken into custody during the incident.
A bystander, who shared their account on the Fullerton Buzz Facebook page, described the scene as chaotic, stating, “Eight or nine officers swooped in and arrested several people, including an elderly man whose only wrong move today was showing up for work. People are crying… everyone’s upset about what felt so vile and invasive.” The emotional response from those present underscores the climate of fear and uncertainty fostered by such operations.
In the wake of the raid, the Orange County Rapid Response Network (OCRRN) has urged community members to report any ICE activities they witness by calling (714) 881-1558. The organization encourages onlookers to document incidents safely on video and to request the full names of anyone apprehended for reporting purposes. The OCRRN collaborates with the ACLU to provide legal support and resources for individuals affected by these actions. More information can be found at https://ocrapidresponse.org…
