Workers at the Alba Wine and Spirits warehouse in Edison arrived Wednesday to a workplace on edge, a day after federal immigration agents conducted a surprise raid that led to multiple detentions.

On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents swarmed the warehouse, checking workers’ immigration status, witnesses said. Those who could verify their status were issued wristbands. Others who lacked valid identification were zip-tied and placed in vans for transport.

The Nevada Green Party strongly condemns the actions of the Trump administration, in seizing control of the National Guard, in response to Constitutionally protected protests against the actions of ICE in recent months, against law abiding residents of this country.

We’re writing to you today with deep concern and urgent resolve.

Over the past several days, violent and militarized raids by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have terrorized communities across California—in Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. These were not ordinary enforcement actions. They were coordinated acts of state-sponsored intimidation, ordered by the Trump administration, designed to sow fear in working-class neighborhoods.

I’m going to tell you something you won’t hear from a single other candidate in this race, maybe not from any politician in America

While the pundits whimper about “decorum” and the political class hides behind words like “de-escalation,” the real answer is simple… 

On Friday we shared an incredible story from San Diego: a neighborhood stood up to ICE and drove them out with nothing but courage and community.

But now, just days later, ICE is ramping up in Los Angeles and countless Angelenos are caught in the crossfire.

The Latinx Caucus of the Green Party of the United States strongly condemns the recent violent and militarized Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that terrorized neighborhoods across California, including Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco. 

Mahmoud Khalil, a lawful permanent resident, recent graduate, and husband to a U.S. citizen who is eight months pregnant with their child, was dragged away from his Columbia University home by ICE this weekend at the behest of the White House.

His "crime"? Protesting genocide in Gaza.

Green Party gubernatorial candidate Dr. Butch Ware issued a strong condemnation today in response to Governor Gavin Newsom’s announcement that he would veto AB 15 if it passed the California legislature. Reaffirming his support for the bill, Ware said:

The Green Party of the United States affirms that migration is a human right, and we are outraged by the current situation at the U.S. border regarding the inhumane treatment of children and families seeking refuge from the United States’ imperialist policies visited upon Latin American nations.

Greens are not fooled by the games that the Trump administration now seems to be playing with human lives. His executive order today, while a victory for public activism and direct action in general, seems more an attempt to mollify the public and create a legal situation in which current law regarding the maximum time limit for detention could be challenged.

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. (WDBJ) -- More than 200 people gathered Wednesday, waving signs and chanting things like, "Families belong together," all in the hopes their message would ring clear with Congressman Morgan Griffith of Virginia's 9th District.

"We're here because this is our Congressman's office, who is completely unavailable," said demonstration participant Marian Mollin. "Doesn't do town halls, doesn't speak to us, so this is our way to speak to him, and therefore, the federal government."
