What happened
Increased ICE raids have been reported throughout Central California, affecting heavily Latino communities. A Fresno City Council member stated that deportations have led to a reduction in worker participation and school attendance. Roman Catholic Bishop Joseph V. Brennan pushed back against the 'indiscriminate nature' of these raids, stating the Catholic Church would not remain silent on the issue. ICE spokespeople maintain that the department is simply enforcing national law.
