Pomona woman records neighbor being detained by ICE
ICE raids expand in Los Angeles, across U.S.
A Pomona woman captured ICE agents on video detaining her neighbor, as immigration arrests are being reported across Southern California.
LOS ANGELES - New video shared with FOX 11 shows possible federal agents in Pomona this week, apprehending a woman for immigration-related reasons.
"She was on her way to work, and they just proceeded to take her out of the car and take her," explained Diana Delgado.
Delgado said she recorded the incident outside her home in Pomona on the morning of Monday, Jan.27. She describes the woman who was apprehended as a neighbor.
"The first thing I heard was, "What part of Mexico are you from? Very aggressively in Spanish," recalled Delgado. "I knew something was wrong, so I proceeded to record."
In the video, a woman can be seen being taken away by law enforcement.
According to Delgado, her neighbor’s daughter said the woman was taken to the ICE detention center in downtown Los Angeles.
"I spoke to the daughter, and she did confirm her mom has no criminal background," said Delgado. "The family confirmed [law enforcement was] looking for someone else and after that, they proceeded to ask her what part of Mexico she was from."

While authorities increase immigration enforcement, a group in Riverside County is on guard. In a public Facebook post, the group called on volunteers to watch over Home Depot parking lots for ICE/Border Patrol agents. A flyer from the group read, "We need support with ICE/Border Patrol watch shifts, [and] you will be trained."
"The day before the incident [outside my house, authorities] did the Home Depot down the block," said Delgado. "They did the same thing there. It’s just really sad."
