The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department was called to the scene of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrest in Spring Valley earlier this week, prompting some neighbors to raise concerns about the use of deputies to support federal law enforcement actions.

Frustrated and angry Spring Valley neighbors, cameras rolling, rushed to the arrest of a man identified as Manual on Tuesday afternoon.

“When I walked out is when I saw all the cars just blocking him and blocking the street,” said Mannely Alonso, Manuel’s daughter.

Alonso says Homeland Security agents broke a car window and cut a safety belt taking her dad into custody. Manuel resisted, telling agents he would not go.

“I tried to get them off of him, and it just escalated,“ Alonso said.

She says her mother, 49-year-old Elizabeth Gutierrez Diaz, was taken into ICE custody earlier that day while at work.

ICE has not yet responded to NBC 7’s questions about these detentions.

“If before we were scared, I am even more scared now,” Alonso said.

Also called to the scene were deputies.

“I wouldn’t say it is regular,” SDSO Lt. Ashley Lewis said. “This is actually the first time for the Rancho San Diego Station that we’ve received a call like this.”

Lewis says deputies were dispatched after receiving a report that 10 people were involved and possibly two were injured.

“When we show up, we’re simply ensuring that no one is injured, and no criminal activity is occurring, and everyone is safe,” Lewis said.

Senate Bill 54 — known as the California Values Act — went into effect on Jan. 1, 2018. It prevents state and local law enforcement agencies from using their resources on behalf of federal immigration enforcement agencies with one exception. That is, where the undocumented immigrants have been convicted of serious or violent felonies, or of misdemeanors that can be classified as such felonies.

Lewis says responding deputies didn’t participate in detaining Manuel. They asked if an injured HSI agent wanted medical help. The officer declined. Deputies were on scene for less then 15 minutes.

“We don’t check any immigration status of anyone. We don’t ask those type of questions per the law. We just assure everyone is OK,” Lewis said.

With Homeland Security operations in full view come more aggressive protests that draw local law enforcement charged with keeping the peace.

The couple’s daughter says her mother is being detained at the Customs and Border Protection Otay Mesa facility and her father is being held at a federal facility downtown.
