ICE agents carried out a raid at a roofing company in Bellingham, Washington, detaining three family members of a worker and dozens of his co-workers. The worker, who requested anonymity, said his brother and cousins were among those detained. The owner of the company claimed to follow all hiring rules and regulations but ICE stated that the workers had misrepresented their immigration status. The Trump administration initially focused on deporting migrants with criminal backgrounds but later included families and children. The worker described the raid as scary, with agents in tactical gear, masks, and long rifles. Another detainee’s aunt expressed sadness over the families being destroyed. A rally was held in support of those arrested, with participants stating it is wrong to tear families apart. The worker, despite being a U.S. citizen, is considering returning to Mexico due to the fear caused by the raid. The worker expressed concern over living in constant fear and stated that it is difficult to continue living this way. The situation has caused significant emotional distress and uncertainty among the workers and their families. The community has come together to show support for those affected by the raid and call for a more compassionate approach to immigration enforcement.
