ICE intensifies immigration actions at the San Diego federal courthouse
Federal authorities have strengthened the presence of immigration agents at the San Diego federal courthouse, focusing on the detention of undocumented immigrants with criminal records or pending judicial proceedings. The measure is part of a broader ICE effort to ensure that detention orders issued by federal courts are enforced effectively.
According to reports, the action has sparked concern among immigrant rights advocates, who argue that these operations could affect legal assistance and the participation of witnesses in court cases. Authorities, meanwhile, argue that the measure is necessary to maintain the integrity of the judicial system and protect public safety.

The intensification of enforcement coincides with an increase in resources and targeted operations in other areas of California, in line with the federal government’s strategy of prioritizing law enforcement against immigrants with criminal histories. ICE asserts that the actions focus on individuals who represent specific risks and that the agency coordinates closely with judges and prosecutors to minimize disruptions to judicial proceedings.
Legal observers highlight that these types of operations often generate debates about public safety versus immigrant rights, especially in cities with more protective or “sanctuary” policies. Local organizations and immigrant advocates continue monitoring the situation to ensure that procedures comply with the law and constitutional rights.
