People detained in LA Ice raids held in deplorable conditions, say lawmakers

Chu circled back to the facility on Tuesday along with representatives Mark Takano, Luz Rivas, Linda Sanchez and Sydney Kamlager-Dove. The representatives said they were not able to get answers on how many of the detainees had been arrested in the recent raids in LA.

“Let me tell you, we have had laundromats, we have had churches, we have had elementary schools, we have had small stores raided by FBI, and Homeland Security in cooperation with [Immigration and Customs Enforcement] snatching folks,” Kamlager-Dove said outside Adelanto’s gates. It was unclear why certain people had been arrested and placed in detention and those at Adelanto believed they had been profiled and arrested based on their appearance and race.
