ICE detained at least six to eight immigrants, including an asylum seeker and newborn’s father, during an unexpected weekend check-in in Stockton, sparking outcry over due process and transparency.

Dozens of immigrants were unexpectedly summoned to an ICE office in Stockton, California, over a weekend for check-ins, with at least six to eight detained, including an asylum seeker and a father of a newborn. The unusual weekend operation, which blocked attorneys from entering despite credentials, raised concerns about due process and access to counsel. The detentions, linked to ICE’s Alternatives to Detention program, sparked protests and renewed scrutiny over enforcement practices, especially as such weekend check-ins are rare. ICE has not explained the actions, while advocates criticize the timing and transparency, highlighting broader concerns about arbitrary detentions and the treatment of non-criminal immigrants.
