After a lull in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity on California’s Central Coast, a rash of raids has reportedly swept through San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties over the past week.
One notable arrest over the weekend left two children unattended after a man was taken from a gas station by what appeared to be a group of ICE agents.
805 UndocuFund, a collaborative nonprofit group that brings together immigrant-serving Central Coast organizations, reported what appeared to be a planned ICE arrest at the Sinclair gas station at 1050 South Ventura Road in Oxnard. Juan Conches, a gas station attendant, was an apparent witness, and recalled the arrest in Spanish for 805 UndocuFund’s Instagram account in a May 5 post.
Conches said that a man pulled up to the gas station at approximately 9:30 a.m. on Sunday to fill up his truck. Several cars, including a Ford Explorer and Toyota Tacoma, then surrounded the man. “There were at least six cars. There were a lot of cars,” Conches recalled in a video posted by 805 UndocuFund on Instagram.
The man was taken by ICE agents, and his children were left behind.
“They arrested someone,” Conches said. “They left the children inside the truck.”
Of the two young people left behind, one was identified by the organization as a minor, the other was reportedly 19, “old enough to be alone but unable to drive, stranded, and powerless to leave,” the Instagram post from 805 UndocuFund said.
“Fifteen minutes later, I asked the kids what happened,” Conches explained in the video. “They told me they took him. I then asked if I could move the truck to free up the pump. That’s it....”

A 19 year old is also not a child.
A 19 year old is an adult whether they can drive or not, and if the child is a relative then he or she is responsible for the kid, not the arresting officials, if that is what they were and not some rival gang in police drag.
Yes. The distortive dishonest reporting is disgusting.
Why would you expect honesty from minions of the father of lies?
I am comforted knowing that about 0.2% of the population under the age of 30 reads MSM sources for their information
‘People being rounded up pumping their own gas in Oxnard,” Supervisor Laura Capps said’
Not driving an EV has consequences. ‘cept of course, a Tesla. It’s so confusing.
The article says that there were 3 confirmed raids and 7 arrests. In what sense are these communities being “overwhelmed,” as the headline claims?
Like an antibiotic does to the body overwhelmed with a dangerous bacteria.
Kind of like a Congresswoman bumping into an ICE agent, and the headline says “bodyslammed a Federal agent”.
Those are two separate incidents at the same insurrection.
In all likelihood, the 19 year old drives regularly. I'm guessing the only reason he "couldn't" drive is because law enforcement making the arrests would not allow him due to lack of a license or insurance.
“...know-your-rights...”??
Seriously?
Here’s an idea. How’s ‘bout letting them stay if they pay back all the bennies they got while grifting here?
But the illegal immigrants havent overwhelmed them? These folks are scum
Not anymore, thanks to Obama.
Now you are a child until you are 26.
Don't forget that ObamaCare makes you a child on your parents health insurance until 26 years of age. Long enough for you to get your Phd.
You have to feed that Education monster.
LOL! Yep. Thank God for small miracles. :)
And insulting, quite frankly.
Good! Maybe...just maybe...strop harboring these illegal alien invader criminals. ALL must GO! GET OUT!
