Rep. Scott Peters has warned that immigration crackdowns in San Diego are continuing quietly, despite a shift away from militaristic raids.
50 people were ordered deported in the first 'mega' master immigration hearings in San Diego. Peters criticized the $70 billion ICE budget, calling it 'unheard of' and larger than the Israeli military.
850,000 immigrants live in San Diego County, many with legal status but still facing harassment. Peters introduced the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to require body cameras and masks for agents.
He urged the public to stay vigilant and recognize that mass deportations harm the entire society.
