00:00Tonight, Unreported World is from Los Angeles, where President Trump's immigration crackdown

00:05is leaving families living in fear.

00:08Across America, 11 million people are the targets of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement,

00:13known as ICE.

00:15And in so-called sanctuary cities, migrants face arrest whenever they leave their homes,

00:20while supporters of ICE say removing undocumented people is necessary to uphold the law.

00:25Ria Chatterjee meets the ordinary families caught up in the mass deportations

00:30and the activists trying to find the massed federal agents lying in wait.

00:42This is Angela, a mother living in Los Angeles.

00:49She's being detained by immigration officers.

00:58Her son films as she's about to be taken away.

01:05Stops like this are happening across America in an historic wave of arrests and deportations.

01:25This is the front line of President Trump's immigration crackdown.

01:30Los Angeles is a self-declared sanctuary city, a supposed safe haven for migrants.

01:54Nearly half of its residents are Latino, and the city's economy depends on migration.

02:02Now, it's ground zero in one of the largest deportation drives in U.S. history.

02:12But across Los Angeles, anger and resistance is mounting.

02:20Officers from U.S. Immigration and Customs, also known as ICE,

02:30say they're targeting 11 million undocumented immigrants.

02:35The plan?

02:36To deport 3,000 people a day.

02:40I'm here to meet the people whose lives have been directly impacted.

02:44Reports are coming in of a suspected ICE raid in San Bernardino, east of Los Angeles.

03:01We arrive and see masked agents on the scene.

03:09Oh, that's the car being towed.

03:12Two cars appear to have collided.

03:15You saw from inside?

03:17Yeah.

03:17There was one car this way, and then, like, the black car, like, was in, like, this.

03:25They had, like, crashed into it.

03:26How did you feel?

03:29Scared at the same time.

03:30I mean, I'm a U.S. citizen.

03:32My kids, too.

03:33So.

03:35Well, we just heard a big boom, so we ran out,

03:37and then we seen that the crashed car was in the middle,

03:41and then we had the car that hit it.

03:43Brian Sanchez, a lawyer representing migrant communities,

03:47is already on the scene gathering evidence.

03:50I'm assuming it was ICE, because they had the mask on,

03:53and it didn't say police on the back of their thing.

03:55And he grabbed a young guy.

03:59Well, they broke him out of the car,

04:01and then they grabbed him out, and then they put him in the car.

04:04They took him right away, like, right away.

04:07Did the agents present, did they say anything to anybody?

04:10What did I know?

04:11He threw this thing down his mask,

04:14and he's the one that threw him against the car, against the truck.

04:18If I'm seeing this photo correctly,

04:20it looks like the agent's vehicles hit the other person's vehicle?

04:25Right there.

04:26What I'm assuming is the car hit, that's one boom,

04:29and then the second two booms were probably when they were hitting,

04:32when they broke his glass to the car to get him out of the car.

04:36In sanctuary states,

04:37ICE police are rarely allowed to cooperate with federal agents.

04:42Brian's trying to find out if those lines have been crossed.

04:46California state law restricts local law enforcement

04:49working with federal agents.

04:51Would you be able to send me those photos?

04:53I sure can.

04:54If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me.

04:56Okay. I appreciate you, Brian.

04:58God bless you.

04:59Thank you for your work.

05:00Of course.

05:03Until recently,

05:04ICE agents operated openly across Los Angeles.

05:07Now their tactics have become far more covert.

05:12We show Brian our footage.

05:15So this is what we showed up to.

05:20Yeah, this is most likely than immigration enforcement.

05:23You can tell by the fact that they're entering unmarked vehicles

05:26with no license plate.

05:28Their jackets have no insignia on them,

05:31which is usually the telltale sign of ICE.

05:34These people could be vigilantes for all we know.

05:38The agents are saying they have to wear masks

05:41because otherwise they're getting doxxed.

05:43They're getting attacked.

05:45What do you make of that?

05:46I myself don't give it much credence.

05:49Local PD doesn't wear masks.

05:51San Bernardino Police Department doesn't wear masks.

05:53How could that possibly be justified to wear masks

05:56without any insignia and without identifying themselves?

06:06Across California, families are living

06:09with the consequences of these arrests.

06:11Hi, is it Fatima?

06:14Hi, I'm Ria.

06:15Hi, nice to meet you.

06:16Hi, nice to meet you, Fatima.

06:19I've come to meet Fatima and her husband, Fernando.

06:23Hello.

06:24Three weeks ago, Fernando's dad, Felix,

06:26was arrested at the local Home Depot store

06:29where he'd been working, a frequent target for ICE.

06:33They just hit them by surprise.

06:36They blocked every entrance where he was at.

06:38He didn't see them coming.

06:40He was too distracted.

06:41He was talking to his brother

06:43and they didn't see them coming.

06:46He's 59 and living with diabetes

06:48and the family fears for his health.

06:51The first time we went to go see him,

06:53I think it was on a Tuesday,

06:54and then we saw him.

06:55It was me, my baby, my wife and my brother.

06:59And he started to tear up.

07:02He was really sad.

07:04I have never seen my dad like that.

07:06My dad's a strong guy.

07:07This is the first time I see him cry again,

07:09and it really broke my heart.

07:13Felix is undocumented,

07:15but has lived in the States for 35 years.

07:18For weeks, the family had begged him to stay indoors.

07:23How do you think his mental health is?

07:25We try to reassure him that we'll be OK,

07:28but we're trying our best to get you out.

07:31What do we need to get him out as fast as possible?

07:33Because he's sick,

07:35and we don't want him to get worse in there.

07:37He's two years old.

07:39There's no way for me to tell him,

07:41your grandpa's gone for right now,

07:42and we don't know if he's going to come back home or not.

07:52We're at day 85.

07:54The 85th day of the ice siege of L.A.

08:00Across the city,

08:01residents are finding new ways to outwit ice.

08:06Today is September 2nd,

08:08and these are ice updates for In and Around L.A.

08:10In the heart of L.A.,

08:12podcaster Memo Torres is preparing his nightly bulletin.

08:16They were spotted at the Signal Hill Home Depot.

08:19They're staging at about 7.45 in the morning.

08:22And luckily, record responders were there in the area,

08:24noticed them,

08:25and were able to follow their plans as they let...

08:27His recaps combine witness accounts,

08:29videos, and tips,

08:31a hyper-local news hub for his community.

08:35I'm literally on Instagram 24-7

08:37looking at these videos.

08:40He used to write about the best taco spots in town,

08:44but he's had to develop a new skill.

08:47You have to become really good at identify agents.

08:49That's sheriff, you know.

08:51Okay.

08:51No, that's L.A.P.D.

08:53And then one of the biggest tales,

08:55ironically,

08:56them hiding their faces with their masks

08:57now has become like a signature.

09:00So them trying to hide their identity

09:02is now helping us identify that they're ice agents.

09:05Today, Tuesday, they kept the activity going.

09:07In San Bernardino, again, by the courthouse,

09:10they took somebody from in front.

09:11Nobody, like, pays attention to all the smaller stories

09:13showing how they're just indiscriminately

09:15pulling vehicles over, you know,

09:17and trying to find somebody

09:18who's not documented questioning people

09:19just because they're brown.

09:21In other news, remember the arrest of Tatiana Martinez?

09:24She was violently pulled out of her car

09:25and taken by agents.

09:27In July, a federal judge issued

09:29a temporary restraining order

09:31limiting arrests based solely on race or occupation.

09:36But the order has since been lifted,

09:38pending appeal at the Supreme Court.

09:41It's very targeted.

09:43If you look at all the documentation,

09:44it's irrefutable proof you're targeting the brown community.

09:47And why do you do it?

09:49It almost feels like a duty and an obligation to do it.

09:52But more than that, it's like, it's personal.

09:56You know, it's your people.

09:57These are your friends, your neighbors, your family,

10:00people you grew up with.

10:02You know, this is our home.

10:03So, like, when people start come attacking us

10:05and then you start seeing on social media,

10:08like, the propaganda machine

10:09just completely putting this information

10:12about how we're rioters and how we're looters

10:14and how we're lawless.

10:16And it's the exact opposite.

10:18They're coming in here and doing all that to us.

10:20It's like somebody has to, you know, show the truth.

10:23Do you take it home with you in your head?

10:25Of course, yeah.

10:25Yeah, you know, you dream about it, you know?

10:29Um, yeah, it's a lot.

10:36Yeah, it's a lot.

10:43ICE maintains its operations are lawful

10:45and denies any racial profiling.

10:47While activists fight back, ICE is growing

10:57with $70 billion in new federal funding.

11:06Angela relives this moment over and over.

11:13She was arrested at traffic lights whilst out shopping.

11:16Angela has been in the U.S. for 26 years

11:23and is a mother of two.

11:26She's just been released from federal detention

11:28but under strict supervision.

11:34Today, with her lawyer,

11:36she must check in

11:37with the Department for Homeland Security.

11:40Angela came to the U.S. from Mexico as a child.

11:48She applied for protection under the Dreamers Act,

11:51allowing young, undocumented immigrants

11:54to stay legally,

11:55but she lacked the school records to qualify.

11:59She has no criminal record.

12:02Her time in detention was tough.

12:05She has no idea what to do.

12:06When I got there, I didn't know what to do.

12:09I didn't know what to happen.

12:11You know, there's a lot of desperation in there.

12:23They castigated me.

12:26They were in a room,

12:29alone,

12:32without access to a call to my son.

12:36And in the meantime, Angela, how are you surviving?

12:51Well, I haven't been there for all the time.

12:56So, I started at zero.

13:00I started at zero because I've been there for almost two months.

13:04And what I do is, I'm a stylist.

13:09And I also have my shop.

13:12And then, I lost everything.

13:14I lost everything.

13:15I lost everything because I can't be like what I did.

13:21It's difficult because no one supports you.

13:26There's no one who supports you.

13:29To anyone who wants this.

13:32But it's very, very difficult.

13:35But thanks to God, I'm here.

13:38And we'll continue to fight,

13:40as we've always done.

13:44That's it.

13:52As dawn breaks over MacArthur Park in downtown LA,

13:56a small team is gathering.

13:59Their task?

14:00Good morning.

14:01To monitor ICE activity and warn residents.

14:04We're just going to, like, strive around in the neighborhood.

14:07Look for any suspicious activity.

14:09Ron Gochez is a high school history teacher

14:12and leading member of Union del Barrio,

14:15a grassroots network of community volunteers.

14:18This neighborhood has been hit especially hard.

14:21As an organization, we never advocate for violence,

14:24but the agents have to know that they're not the only ones with guns.

14:27This is a community that has violence.

14:29And it's just a matter of time that,

14:31when the repression continues to attack our communities,

14:33the people will resist back in whatever the way they can.

14:36You all have a radio?

14:37OK.

14:38So let's do it.

14:42Radio check.

14:44As the teams move out across LA,

14:46they look out for ICE activity,

14:48using radios and apps to run number plates and alert communities.

14:53We're looking out for any type of activity.

14:57Mostly American brand vehicles.

14:59Mostly SUVs.

15:00A lot of pickup trucks.

15:02Tinted windows, for sure, are a red flag.

15:05Ice rates peaked in June,

15:08when agents were detaining people at work and on the street.

15:12And when you spot a vehicle, what do you do?

15:16If there's no license plate, dark tinted windows,

15:19I will get out the vehicle.

15:20Not by myself.

15:21I wouldn't do this by myself.

15:22We would go up to the vehicle and just knock on the window.

15:25And just, who are you?

15:27Why are you in the neighborhood?

15:31I'm pulling up on that location right now.

15:34The team has spotted a suspicious vehicle.

15:37I'm going to check real quick.

15:43We found suspicious vans, but they're empty.

15:46I don't see anyone here.

15:47We're in the alley that goes through.

15:49There's like a big parking lot that says the Spa Palace or something.

15:51We're in that alley.

15:53They've got number plates.

15:54That looks normal, but we're just going to run them,

15:56just to make sure.

15:58This time, it's a false alarm.

16:01What they do sometimes is they'll leave,

16:04they'll leave vehicles like that and they'll be patrolling.

16:07And if they see that's the right time for them to spot to come in,

16:10then they'll just quickly come in here

16:12and then their vehicles are so close that then they can attack.

16:15I wanted to press Ron on his earlier comment

16:18that agents aren't the only ones with guns.

16:22How far would you push things

16:24in terms of the activities that agents are doing?

16:28How far would you push back?

16:29We don't want violence, but if violence is being imposed on us,

16:34we will do anything possible to protect ourselves.

16:38What do you mean by you do anything to protect yourselves?

16:40If I don't do everything to protect my family,

16:43then not only am I a coward,

16:45but I also would be doing the most irresponsible thing,

16:49which would be to not protect my family.

16:51So we have the obligation to protect ourselves.

16:53How likely do you think it is that there could be some kind of explosion of violence?

16:59It's more likely than not. It's just a matter of time.

17:02Ron insists his group is non-violent,

17:08but his words reflect the tensions here,

17:12where fear, anger and mistrust make the threat of confrontation hard to ignore.

17:19anti-ice protests outside LA's metropolitan detention centre have become a flashpoint.

17:33These images were filmed by Anthony Cabasa,

17:36a Latino journalist and vlogger who supports Donald Trump.

17:40He's built his following covering immigration raids and street protests.

17:53Trump's 2024 victory hinged on a record swing in the Latino vote,

17:59decisive in the battleground states like Pennsylvania and Florida.

18:05If you're here illegally, meaning you don't have a work visa,

18:09you're not a U.S. resident, you're not a green card holder,

18:12you have still broken the law.

18:14You are a criminal.

18:15My mom actually agrees with what's happening.

18:18She's like, look, I did it the right way.

18:20We paid our dues.

18:22You know, we pay taxes.

18:24All my legal immigrant family, none of them are worried.

18:27They don't live in fear.

18:29They don't go out to the supermarket saying, you know,

18:31what happens if I get stopped today?

18:33But recent polls show Trump's support is slipping among Latinos.

18:38The president promised to remove the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens.

18:44People say that he's doing the exact opposite now.

18:47So, law enforcement is really not going to be able to tell

18:50who's only here because they've overstayed their visa

18:54or if they're just an illegal immigrant, that's their only crime,

18:57until they actually make the arrest.

18:59People feel targeted by federal agents.

19:02They feel under threat.

19:03They feel like their families are being pulled apart.

19:06So, there is that saying, if you've got nothing to hide,

19:09you've got nothing to fear.

19:10Overwhelming majority of Americans, that's what they voted for.

19:13If people are truly upset about this,

19:16well, guess what?

19:17Next year, we have elections.

19:19Next time around, you don't have to vote for that party again.

19:21You can vote for the party that you feel is more compassionate toward immigrants.

19:24Out in the Mojave Desert,

19:38Adalanto is California's largest immigration detention center,

19:43holding around 2,000 people.

19:47For families like Fatima and Fernando, who are visiting,

19:51it's a long, exhausting journey.

19:55So, the Adalanto detention center is pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

19:59It's in the middle of the desert.

20:01It's a couple of hours' drive from LA

20:04and a couple of hours for Fatima and her husband and her kid.

20:11Since January, at least 15 people have died in ICE custody,

20:16including one at this privately run facility,

20:19which has faced serious allegations of neglect.

20:22I'm just messaging with Fatima, who's inside,

20:27and letting her know that we're waiting for her here

20:30so we can just catch up with her after the visit.

20:34It's here that Fernando's father is awaiting possible deportation to Mexico.

20:45I think this is them.

20:48Here they are.

20:52How are you guys, okay?

20:55Yeah.

21:00How is your father?

21:01He's actually, he looks more skinnier.

21:03He's cold.

21:04And I'm like, Dad, are you okay?

21:06Are you cold?

21:07He's like, no, I'm not cold.

21:08I'm not cold.

21:09It's very warm in here, but I know he's cold.

21:14It hurts.

21:15It honestly hurts.

21:17Luckily, I was able to give him his hug.

21:19He got to hug his grandson.

21:22Where do you think things will go next?

21:24I want him out, honestly.

21:26I want him out of here.

21:27I don't want him in here no more.

21:29Because he may not say it, but we could see it that he looks depressed.

21:33And he wants to come back home with us.

21:36I told him we're not going to leave him alone.

21:39He has a family here.

21:40If he does get sent back to Mexico, like, you know, we're going to try our best, you

21:46know, to go there every month, every two months.

21:51It's going to be hard because we also have a life here and the economy is not the best

21:56at the moment.

21:57But I did tell him that no matter what happens, we're always going to be there for you.

22:01It'll be okay.

22:02Yeah.

22:04ICE have said it remains committed to ensuring that all those in its custody reside in safe,

22:10secure and humane environments.

22:13Comprehensive medical care is provided from the moment individuals arrive and throughout the entirety of their stay.

22:20We've met families torn apart and people living in fear.

22:34And we've also met people who say that these policies are necessary and were voted for democratically.

22:41At the same time, many people feel that ICE agents are operating with impunity and with little accountability.

22:48So where does the balance lie between enforcing immigration law and protecting civil liberties?

22:58Felix has since been released from detention and reunited with his family.

23:04But the effort to deport him to Mexico is ongoing.

23:10Angela is still awaiting her fate.

23:18Across the United States, countless other families are caught between the promise of a better life and the constant threat of separation.
