ICE Arrests 7 In Long Beach Car Wash Raids As SoCal Enforcement Surge Intensifies

ICE agents raided multiple Long Beach car washes on Sept. 13, detaining seven workers. Advocates say the operations are part of a broader regional campaign targeting car washes since summer, with hundreds reportedly detained. The raids follow a Supreme Court decision enabling resumed patrols and have triggered community backlash, a canceled Dia de los Muertos parade in Long Beach, and calls for legal action and volunteer monitoring.
