Border agents arrested at least 11 people during a raid on Thursday outside the warehouse of North California – including an American citizen who was volunteer as an observer, according to local activists.
The operation, which took place in the Sacramento region, about 600 miles from the US -Mexican border, is the latest offer for force from the state’s border patrol, which joined a complete raid in the Los Angeles Park earlier this month.
“There is no such thing as the city of Malaz,” Gregory Bouvino, head of the border patrol sector. He said Thursday in a video clip filmed in front of the government Capitol building, referring to the judicial states that do not help voluntarily in the application of federal immigration.

During the stock exchange, the agents say they are holding Jose Castillo because they believed that he cut the tires on a federal car.
The activist group Norcal Resist said that Jose Castillo was volunteer on behalf of the organization to document the operation, but he did not obstruct the officers. The group added that he was released since then.
Local lawmakers are wondering whether the operation has violated a recent court.

When asked about the alleged arrest of the American citizen and legal criticism, Federal officials referred to a press release of internal security to announce the process, which did not mention any of the topics.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of most of the immigration policy in the administration has pressed immigration officials to reach 3000 detention per day, including by targeting the centers of daytime workers such as parking lots in Home Depot.
Local spending legislation, which has been approved, contains a recent “Baby and Beautiful Bill”, which has been approved about $ 170 billion of wider migration and border financing, which officials say will enhance an increase in local immigration operations.
