San Diego police say federal agents conducted an operation inside an apartment complex in Linda Vista on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
It happened at the Mesa Vista Apartments on Linda Vista Road. Cellphone video shows several agents and unmarked cars in the area.<\/p>\n
“All of the sudden, I started seeing them put tactical gear on, and my first thought was, ‘This is ICE showing up right now at my apartment complex,’ and my first instinct, I was trying to leave the complex, but they were blocking the whole area off with their cars,” one neighbor told NBC 7. “It’s my neighbors, and I live next to these people. They are hardworking people. I don’t believe that they should be targeted like this.”<\/p>\n
The San Diego Police Department said it was asked by Homeland Security for cover and to help maintain safety during the operation.<\/p>\n
In part of a statement, SDPD said: “The San Diego Police Department has repeatedly stated that it does not participate in Immigration enforcement and is strictly prohibited from doing so, per state law (SB 54).”<\/p>\n
It is unclear how many people \u2014 if any \u2014 were detained. NBC 7 reached out to Immigration and Customs Enforcement for more information on the operation but has yet to hear back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Diego police say federal agents conducted an operation inside an apartment complex in Linda Vista on Wednesday.…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":34631,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5134],"tags":[5229,1582,276,28572,3549,7264,67,586,132,5230,68,2969],"class_list":{"0":"post-34630","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-diego","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-california","11":"tag-linda-vista","12":"tag-san-diego","13":"tag-sandiego","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-united-states-of-america","16":"tag-unitedstates","17":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","18":"tag-us","19":"tag-usa"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114787953209427730","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34630","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34631"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
