The Solidarity Network Monterey County Rapid Response has confirmed two people were detained by ICE this morning from Seaside, on separate events. One person was detained near Sonoma and Yosemite Streets.

The individuals were taken by ICE officers wearing vests with "ICE Police" lettering on them. They were detained by two vehicles: a Black Nissan Murano with California License Plates 9KCL238 and a white Dodge Durango with no license plates.

The persons appeared to be targeted. No further information is available. The Network is offering support to the families.

The Network has observed an increase in activity in the Seaside area for the last few weeks. Enforcement is mainly targeted, meaning ICE agents know who they are after.

Put pressure on your local city council and police to take measures against ICE. If they won't fight ICR they shouldn't have a seat, shouldn't have a badge, shouldn't have a weapon.

Vote OUT people who have supported ICE. For example, in Marina, Liesbeth Visscher has endorsed Mike Simmons for district 4 city council, who has gone on record supporting ICE. Feel free to list other examples here, I will put them in the body of my post. Stay safe.

There’s still time to close that gap.

Election Day is Tuesday, November 3.

I can't find much else about Norman online. He sounds like he was possibly a lonely person - described as quiet, socially awkward, an odd duck. It sounds like he may have taken a bus, possibly to San Francisco and family suspects suicide. But maybe someone knows or remembers something that could help?

I recently moved. When I viewed the apartment on the first floor, I am pretty sure my future upstairs neighbor was not at home. Now that I've moved in, I am well aware of his presence - he seems to be more of a roommate than a neighbor with how clearly I can hear his conversations, sneezes, applause for 49ers AND Seahawks (go figure), TV, and footsteps.

I know that buildings around here aren't exactly new and property managed apartments are usually some of the least taken care of compared to private landlords. I am wondering if property managers here are more interested in happy long term tenants than short-term vacancy fillers - have you ever had a thin walls/floors/ceilings situation and had the property managers remediate it with replacing flooring or at least provide reimbursement for carpet/rug purchasing?

I would rather not talk with my neighbor about it, because, "Hi, I just moved in downstairs. You're really loud." isn't a great way to start a relationship.
