UPDATE: There is a new raid today, Jan. 4, on Bristol, between 1st St. and 4th St. If you become aware of any new raids, be sure to call the hotline to report ICE raids at 951-345-4043, or click here to send the info via email.
There were two Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) sweeps today in Santa Ana, according to eyewitness reports.
We received a report this afternoon that a sweep was taking place at the Northgate Market located at First and Harbor. Another eyewitness reported a second sweep at Main and First.
Many of us thought that President Barack Obama was going to help immigrants. That has not turned out to be the case.
Obama is enforcing “the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, which requires employers to keep records of workers’ immigration status, and prohibits them from hiring those who have no legal documents, or work authorization,” according to Z-Net.
What are our local politicians going to do about this? Santa Ana has an all-Latino City Council. Several of our Council Members are immigrants themselves, including Mayor Miguel Pulido and Mayor Pro-Tem Claudia Alvarez. It would be great if they would step up and denounce these raids on their constituents! Click here to contact the Santa Ana City Council.
What about Congresswoman Loretta Sanchez? State Senator Lou Correa? Assemblyman Jose Solorio? We need to hear from all of them! They need to step up and denounce these raids.
Click here to contact Congresswoman Sanchez. Click here to contact Assemblyman Solorio. Click here to contact State Senator Correa.
Do you doubt the veracity of these reports? The L.A. Times reported this moth that, “Immigration prosecutions rose to record levels in 2009 as the Obama administration kept up aggressive enforcement that began under President George W. Bush. Nearly 27,000 people faced serious federal charges relating to immigration in 2009, according to Chief Justice John Roberts’ annual year-end report on the judiciary.”
This has to be a very bitter pill for the thousands of Latinos who supported President Obama.
Hispanic voters played a critical role in electing Barack Obama the 44th president, delivering key swing states to the Democrats in a presidential election in which immigration did not ultimately become a contentious issue.
Sixty-seven percent of Hispanic voters voted for Obama while only 31 percent voted for Republican candidate John McCain, according to an exit-poll analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center.

I really think you people are a bit dense.
Immigration and reform act is the law and the law is being enforced.
Are you saying that you expected the president of this country to not enforce his countries laws as pay back??
honestly are you nuts?
Why is this article here in the New Santa Ana when the response can't be positive?..... Huh?
because they are nuts:)
Main and First in Santa Ana? Isn't that where Mike Harrah's restaurant is? If so, Admin, you should track him down and get a quote for your story.
I'm glad to see that the rights and protections of the American people are being protected.
I will welcome any person who wants to enter this country the lawful way, but for those that come here by other means they should not be grated a single right or benefit of our country. The only thing they should get is a ticket home.
And if their home country continues to do nothing to stop it, than we should consider every act of unlawful entry as an act of terrorism.
As far as I'm concerned we are living in the continent of Anahuac and these laws are unjust. Many "immigrants" are indegenous people of Anahuac and Europeans came to put borders between them and enforce their laws. Sadly these borders are still up but hope that one day they'll be destroyed.
gather up all the illegals and send them back to chicas patas
Nican Tlaca of Anahuac
In other words , your opioion, but with no facts to back it up.
was going to help immigrants.
illegal immigrants and immigrants are two separate groups of people, article just trying to blur the lines between the two

Your living in nuts villa, with O so many like you.
If the borders were not up nuto, we would be facing alot of cartels right now.
And if you had not noticed, if us - bad, bad Euros had not come here... many of the indegenous would be eating dirt and living in huts made of rubbish.
Most Euros are on this side of the border- the nice side and the indegenous are on the other side- the drug cartel/corrupt cop side.
Get over it and move on from the jungle mentality and maybe, just maybe over the border might improve enough that your Anaacee people might just beable to have a decent life!
Nite Mr. Anahucwacka
