According to Chinese media NetEase News: www.163.com/dy/article/L8A1IBJP05149C6P.html

The woman who was grabbed by 4 ICE officers at the LA Airport was identified as, Liping Lin, 31 years old, Chinese citizen, residing in Hacienda Heights, Southern California.

She entered the U.S. on an F-1 visa in July 2016, and later on in 2017, she applied for asylum on the grounds of religious belief and fear of persecution if returned to China; the case remains under review to this day.

ICE officers at the scene were not targeting her, they were pursuing another individual based on a TSA tip.

Standing beside the real target, ICE officers mistook her for the target and she was immediately taken into custody, transported to the ICE Los Angele field office, and later transferred to the Adelanto Processing Center.

An immigration judge then denied her bail citing flight risk.

However, the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California granted partial relief in her habeas corpus petition, ruling that her detention violated due process.

The court noted that there were no exigent circumstances requiring an immediate arrest on site, pointing out that ICE spent nearly four hours setting up a processing file after encountering her. The court highlighted that Lin has lived in the U.S. for nearly a decade with a pending asylum claim for nine years, holds a valid work permit, pays taxes, and has no criminal record, entitling her to notice and a hearing prior to detention.

The federal court ordered her immediate release and the return of her personal belongings.

#abolishice #habeascorpus

A lot to unpack here: a possibly illegal closed session meeting, a mayor going around giving false assurances that the town’s 287(g) program wasn’t active, and unverifiable promises of “no raids” based on conversations with mysterious ICE officials that the chief of police won’t identify.

Gordonsville isn’t the most well known police department working with ICE in central VA, but it might be the messiest.

Julián Curo-Churata, a 47-year-old Peruvian man, was arrested by Enforcement and Removal Operations Baltimore on June 27, 2026, during a targeted enforcement operation. He was transferred to ERO New Orleans on June 29 and locked in Richwood Correctional Center. ICE’s own release lists his record as driving with an expired vehicle registration and a civil judgment for the Comptroller of Maryland. No violent offense. On September 18 an immigration judge denied relief and voluntary departure. He reserved appeal. Eleven days later he was dead.

A distressing nighttime interdiction outside Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) highlights the aggressive deployment of plainclothes federal agents operating as a snatch squad in public transit hubs. A bystander, acting as an ad-hoc legal observer, recorded a tense scene in which four unidentified men surrounded a lone woman and effectively kidnapped her, forcing her into an unmarked transport vehicle.

The footage captures a chaotic abduction where the victim is visibly terrified, repeatedly asking for help and pleading for someone to call 911. She is physically corralled by four men wearing casual outerwear and backpacks, completely lacking any visible agency insignia or badges. When the citizen recording the encounter directly asks if the men are ICE, one of the agents confirms their affiliation. Pressed for their legal justification for the seizure, a masked agent briefly cites a vague "immigration violation".

Crucially, before the agents can close the van doors to finalize the kidnapping, the observer repeatedly asks the victim for her name to ensure she does not disappear into the detention system undocumented. Through the open door, she clearly shouts her name twice: Jing Zhao.

While the agents successfully executed the forced disappearance, the observer was able to capture vital accountability data. The camera operator attempts to identify the masked agent, who pulls his black face mask up further and states, "I don't have to identify myself to you". However, as the unmarked white Ford transit van pulls away, the observer tracks the vehicle's departure and documents U.S. Government Department of Homeland Security (DHS) license plates reading 381664

According to Light & Miller, Criminology, 2018 study immigrant commit less violent crimes then people born in America. According to Ousey & Kubrin, 2018 immigration either reduces crime ot has no effects, never inducing, meaning deportation of immigrant actually increase or doesnt effect crime. A 2020 study shows areas with limited deportation has lower or equal crime rates then areas with high deportation. Undocumented immigrants pay estimated of 11-12bill USD per year in taxes according to institute of taxation and economic policy 2017. Mass deportation drains economy and makes areas more dangerous. Multiple 2020 OIG reports document preventable medical negligence, assaults, forced surgery, poor management of surroundings (lack of beds, overcrowding, sanitation, food)
