People in the community have reported that the Border Patrol/I.C.E. have set up checkpoints at Imperial Avenue in the south and San Marcos in the north. We are not surprised to hear that due to displacement of residents in San Diego immigration forces of order are seeing this as an opportunity to set up checkpoints and deport, harass, and bring fear to many in the community.

Some are going out tomorrow to monitor this situation. Hopefully we can report more tomorrow on this situation.Some will be down with video cameras so that the Border Patrol and I.C.E. will not be able to harass displaced peoples without the community knowing.
