UPDATE: There is a new raid today, Jan. 4, on Bristol, between 1st St. and 4th St. If you become aware of any new raids, be sure to call the hotline to report ICE raids at 951-345-4043, or click here to send the info via email.
There were two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sweeps today in Santa Ana, according to eyewitness reports.
We received a report this afternoon that a sweep was taking place at the Northgate Market located at First and Harbor. Another eyewitness reported a second sweep at Main and First.
Many of us thought that President Barack Obama was going to help immigrants. That has not turned out to be the case.
Obama is enforcing “the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which requires employers to keep records of workers’ immigration status, and prohibits them from hiring those who have no legal documents, or work authorization,” according to Z-Net.

I can’t confirm this but I’ve heard from a friend of a friend that they targeted the Northgate market at the request of a woman in the French Park neighborhood association who made her concerns known to Community Preservation.
“Another eyewitness reported a second sweep at Main and Harbor.”
I don’t think they could do a sweep at Main and Habor since both run North/South. Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk!
ICE on the 28 of June, 2011 at 4:00 am without any proper search warrant nocked at the door of a hard working person. As this person opended the door ICE agents rushed into the house told 2 kids ranging between 1 year old and 3 year old to laid down on the floor.
Remember, ICE superman wanna be agents went without proper search warrant to scare little kids.
Arrested the father of the kids for working 45 hrs as landscaper every week and for father not receiving cash aid or food stamps. Just for being a hard working human.
Dave,
Simple typo. The raid was at Main and First.
Again, as my post stated on the Santa Ana site: Immigration and reform act is the law and the law has not been enforced.
Don’t quote me on this one, but i think laws are supposed to be enforced.
Your nuts!
#1,
The raids do have the stench of the Usual Suspects…
Or maybe the rat pack are up for re-election. Citizens/Legal hispanics are going to want to keep their jobs.
I think it only makes sense that getting rid of cheap labor is up, since a high unemployeement rate for citizens and legal residents has occured.
The question is Art you keep stated your against illegal immigration, yet you are upset that immigration laws are being enforced??
Error: Unemployment 🙁
Sean may be able to shed some light on all of this but an old O.J. post said:
“Here’s the catch, it is a Gonzalez Northgate Market.
Perhaps they feel that shopping at such an establishment is beneath
them. What do they want, a Gelsons?
Ironically, though not surprising, this is the same store that the
infamous “usual suspect” Debbie McEwen protested when it was proposed.
McEwen argued that, “the store’s product base would attract the wrong
kind of people to the neighborhood”. I think we are all pretty clear
what she was getting at.”
Does this Debbie McEwen lady have that much juice? I mean can she get Community Preservation to work with ICE to do a raid? Who else would you guess could be involved from the Usual Suspect list Art? What does this mean for the upcoming U.S. Census? Why would any Latino in Santa Ana open the door to anyone when Community Preservation might be working with ICE to do raids? So much for getting an accurate count!
Pedroza, my stand on the open border is on the record. I was the only candidate since 2002 who publicly stated that a free movement between the Mexico and USA is essential, providing that it is not illegal and there is no waiting welfare package on the arrival. I believe that the open border would allow many immigrants to return home due to lack of work, allowing team to return as free marked demands.
However, your nonsensical promotion of the Mexican National Socialism did not allow you to support me and here is your backlash which I predicted.
The BO syndrome is spreading faster than pig’s flue and there is no vaccination.
Forget about your Mexican council, Pedroza! In fact forget about any Mexican politician! As I stated before the main haters of the Mexicans are Mexicans.
I do regularly communicate with the council and SAPD via the e-mail and based on that I can state that biggest haters of SA Mexicans are Tnajero and Alvarez protected by you and Mill.
If you read my last email: http://orangejuiceblog.com/2009/12/2010-prognostications/#comments I have wish them all to find their balls:
I wish you happy new year, and with an exception of the ladies, I wish that you will find your “testes” in 2010 lost for ever in the socialistic, bolshevistic political correctness and affirmative action.
They are all cowards!
So enjoy your stupid and nonsensical promotion of Mexican National Socialism and do not forget to omit “illegal” before the word immigrant and use of word “hate” profusely.
It will get you and Mill lot of support that way.
Michelle,
When did I say that? I am a Libertarian. I want it to be easier for folks to come here and I support Amnesty for those who are already here.
Please don’t misrepresent my views.
Raids are simply degrading and disrespectful. This reminds me of Lady and the Tramp when the dog catchers come around causing a terrible fright. Some may empathize with the dogs in this kiddy movie -yet think that ICE Raids are humane and just.
Raids are not conducted in Mexico and we have plenty of illegal anglo-americans and U.S born mexican folks that are living in Mexico.
“Raids are not conducted in Mexico!”
That is lie!
My wife’s friend husband was subject to such raid and her neighbor’s wife who emigrated from Czechoslovakia, was married, and could not work for 5 years.
How ever I am happy that your politics re Mexican Nationalism exploded in your face.
Your support for Tinajero and Alvares is unother political miscalculation…… HaHaHa.
Good Pedroza!
You are good Mexican liar, were is my first post huh?….
We are the ambassadors for our people!
Therefore, if you are liar your people are liars…. just so you know!
Fiala,
I deleted what appeared to be a duplicate post. Sorry if I got that wrong.
I think you have made your point, whatever exactly it is.
Thanks! I stand corrected!
these raids do help immigrants (legal). they will not have to compete for jobs and housing with illegals.
Raids are not conducted in Mexico and we have plenty of illegal anglo-americans and U.S born mexican folks that are living in Mexico.
Just in time- you live in a hispanic bubble of some kind!
It is a felony to illegally enter Mexico. If there are Americans living in Mexico, i very much doubt they are a burdern to Mexico.
Art,
I have not mis-read your words, you did say without a doubt that you do not support illegal immigration.
Art, no disrespect intended you are no libertarian; you are a liberal!
Libertarians are not for open borders!
Raids such as these do very little to solve the problem or curtail illegal immigration. They are done simply to appease and quiet the voices in the anti-immigrant movement, many, if not most, of whom are nothing more than rabid bigots.
As far as the “usual suspects” go they in no way have enough juice to get ICE to conduct raids in our city. As Glen Stroud’s removal from the Redevelopment Commission demonstrated, they no longer are a political force in our city. While I am sure Debbie McEwen is cheering from the sidelines in regards to these raids, her constant complaining and bigoted ramblings mostly fall on deaf ear these days.
I would hope that Mayor Pulido and the council would express their displeasure for these raids to ICE and the Obama administration. These raid disrupt life in our city and cause unnecessary panic amongst the community, whether they are here legally or not.

Yeah and your Jesus Christ!
Really wise up Mr. Mills you have done nothing but spout the same crap for years. kids are still failing at a high rate in Santa Ana schools and gangs are on the increase.
You sir and men/women like you, are just a goody two shoes that results in a big 0.
All talk no Action!
Sit back with your rat pack and watch real activists at work for a common good!
by the way- Happy New Year:)
Michelle,
Perhaps you are referring to views I expressed back when I was a Republican. I have since modified my position on a slew of issues.
And no, I am not a liberal. Just look at how much they maligin me over at the Liberal OC! I am a Libertarian, and for the record a lot of us hold similar views on immigration.
“I would hope that Mayor Pulido and the council would express their displeasure for these raids to ICE and the Obama administration. These raid disrupt life in our city and cause unnecessary panic amongst the community, whether they are here legally or not.” (S. Mill)
Maybe we should eliminate stop signs and stop lights thu-out the city too.
With Santa Ana’s concentration of those classified as “Illegal’s” and they can not get DMV licenses to drive and therefore can not get Insurance either, and drive throw away cars, and they run away from accidents, and don’t stop for stop signs or stop lights. (at least the red light cameras have been Turned back On)
Let us petition the federal government and President Obama to repeal all of the traffic laws in the entire country, because:
“and cause unnecessary panic amongst the community, whether they are here legally or not”
Also, I was at the “Los Tres Reyes Event” (near 1st and Main) all day and I did not see any “unnecessary panic” amongst the local community.
good for raids . most of you know on here when art post a immigration issue HE ALWAYS LEAVES OUT THE FAMOUS WORD .
First and Main? Isn’t that where one of Mike Harrah’s restaurants is? Wonder what Harrah has to say about these raids —-
Art,
Bush was a republican and a open border nut and so is all the Supervisors on the Orange County Board. I have alot of Libertarian friends and none of them would be for open borders. Libertarians believe that the US should neither be the police man of the world or a board and care for foregin nationalists. Your views are very liberal and in this economic climate, very careless. Why would anyone want millions of illegal immigrants legalised with 10% unemployment?
Legal immigrantion has come to a halt because of the economic crisis. Most foregin nationalists who apply to come to this country are highly skilled workers.
Honestly i can see no logic in your thinking. The new liberal reasoning for legalising millions of illegal immigrants is, “taxes” – Poor people don’t pay taxes, we as citizens would be paying for welfare directly to the new citizens. Most illegal immigrants are uneducated without any skills and barely speak (if at all) the language. Alot of third world immigrants can not even read and write in their own language. I just read a wonderful post by Peter Murphy who stated, that the influx of all these unskilled and uneducated cheap labor will directly cause poverty to grow. With proverty comes crime ect… Santa Ana is a prime example of thousands of unskilled and uneducated in a small geographic area. NO work = proverty = welfare recipients. Only a small amount of Santa Ana residents will break the circle of proverty.
What will break the socical decay in Santa Ana are the schools and better parenting in the latin community. The only way latin illegal immigrants are going to have a chance at legalization is responible citizenship.
I recommend making education a priorty in the household and not having children you can either afford or care for. Stop with the Viva Mexico crap and rap your arms and heart around the country your children are born into. Make them aware that they have a chance in life because they live in the best country in the world. And make them aware that everyone is a friend to them unless the prove other
wise.
American Citizen/ other immigrants are not the ATM!
Happy New Year Mr. Art:)

Hey thanks for pointing that out, “El Grande”.
Nice going, Art- I will start doing that myself-
I like the graphics under the heading too-
Ice- Immigration Raids—- Perfecto
let’s all leave out that wrongfully and unjustly used word.
Sorry, i forgot to mention why they are open border nuts.
The poor in this country make rich men very rich. The fact they are illegal is not a issue to them. Repub/dem no difference. Living in Newport is nice for both. Public money is easy pickens for non-profits, ect…
Just ask the CEO at Caloptima and Kim Cripe at CHOC!

Michelle there are quite a few fellow ppl of your admirable and infallible race living off of my wealthy relatives in Mexico, Missy. & guess what they are a burden to Mexico- simply because they earn less than their spouses- and live lavishly as well.
Oh and they seem to spend more time in Mexico than the U.S
goes to show you how ignorant you are Ms. Quinn-tessence of thee air head in its purest form.
ok Mich Quinn,
your comeback is too slow– gotta go
I thought we’d have our first 2010 blog-quarrel
catch you later.

What you mean white people?? Your right my race and my culture are quite admirable- thank you for bringing it to my attention.
The rest is well, “silly”.

If i am an air head, you must be a blimp:P
Happy New Year one of my faviourte foes!

Irish/Hispanic ect… We are just all brains with a apron on:(
time to put the PJ’s on.
Nite MISSY!
post 22 see all of his immigration statements . the word ILLEGAL IS never used to describe illegal immigrants he ties regular immigrants with illegal ones . there i hope i used that word enough for you.
re: “Libertarians are not for open borders!”
Yes, they are. Libertarians are for less government. They support the free market, and do not believe that governments should interfere with the free flow of labor. You don’t even know what a Libertarian is. Michelle, please get a libary card.
You don’t even know what a Libertarian is. Michelle, please get a libary card.
Not only that, she uses the catch-all phrase “open borders” so loosely it includes the McCain/Bush bipartisan immigration reform plan that nearly passed earlier this decade. But who can blame her, when she hears all her fellow rightwingers calling a public option “communism.”
Words have no meaning with these people, they’re simply rocks to throw.
How about also using the labels illegal politicians and illegal employers to the mix as they have been instrumental in illegal immigration. Do you think they may have a problem with the word illegal? How about placing that word on everyone that has broken a law.
Let us be fair in applying the word. I support it.
Our government has used immigration legal or not as a tool to solidify our future economic stability.
Vern, and you do?
Ok i ran down and got my libary card:
Libertarians are for free trade and a open flow of labor… So am I!
I believe that we should have a guest worker program – it makes sense to have it because of the decrease of low-wage workers (more Americans are educated) and the aging population.
Illegal immigration is a result of uncontroled borders that allow not only workers in, but killers, gangs ect…
Illegal workers are also paid must lower with out any benifits because they are not protected under labor laws.. So therefore they are abused.
Illegal immigrants are used by governments, non-profits ect.. to abuse the programs that are intended to help the American poor.. ie.. Coalition of community clinics which is really a business in the business of opening clinics so doctors can milk the medical system, just as CHOC health Alliance does.
So i state again, without opening any book.
“Libertarians are not for illegal immigration’. Illegal immigration is due to a immigration systems that has no system in place for a flow of needed labor.
OK!
Michelle,
Wrong again.
Here is an excerpt from an article on the California Libertarian Party website:
In 1921, under growing racial hatred fostered by the Ku Klux Klan and other nativist groups, the United States adopted for the first time a national quota system for immigration. That quota system favored northern Europeans, while Catholics, southern Europeans, Asians, Africans, and Latinos were virtually locked out for 45 years. This quota system still exists today. This is what makes it “illegal” for many young workers to accept jobs from eager employers who want to hire them.
Read the rest of the article here: http://ca.lp.org/lp20070521.shtml
I really dont know why women don’t rule the world.
O yeah, hormones:}
Art,
really, 1921?
It is almost impossible to immigrate to this country legally. degree requirements ect…
From the libertarin site..
For those workers already in the United States illegally, we can avoid “amnesty” and still offer a pathway out of the underground economy. Newly legalized workers can be assessed fines and back taxes and serve probation befitting the misdemeanor they’ve committed. They can be required to take their place at the back of the line should they eventually apply for permanent residency.
You can spin it anyway you want my friend, illegal immigration does not make sense for anyone. This is why we have legal immigration!
I think you are wrong, not I.

Michelle,
Yes it sounds very familiar…you and others on this blog mirror this.
From the article link:

Doc you are completely nuts about your race!! No one care about the race of the man taking the job… wise up..
Race is not the problem.. assimulatin, jobs, ect.. is..
just because you view your race as o so important, i could not care less about the skin on your ass, the head is more important!
And yes i find there is alot of racism here in the us and it is shared equally by all skin colours. Racism has one common denominator. Ego!
Michelle,
Do not preach to me. I only referred to the article. Your issue on this is with the author of the article.
By the way your targeted the article to me, I did not produce it, you did with the associated racism statement by a small group of Britinas similar to your group.
