Officials told one attorney after detaining her client that they planned to call in and detain everyone. They said the order came from Washington, D.C.
"It's just so unnecessary. I strongly feel that these human beings are just pawns in Trump's political game." It's just so unnecessary. I strongly feel that these human beings are just pawns in Trump's political game. Jacobs learned that officials planned to detain not only those coming to court and to check-ins, but they also planned to call in everyone with a monitoring device to detain them instead. Via email, ICE said through an unnamed spokesperson that it follows laws, agency priorities and established procedures in its operations. “Every illegal alien present in violation of U.S. immigration law may be subject to arrest, detention, and if ordered by an immigration judge, removal from the U.S. regardless of nationality,” the agency said. On Friday, none of those detained the day before appeared in the ICE detainee locator, according to volunteers, which meant they likely spent the night in the basement's holding cells, which are meant to be very temporary holding spaces, according to Jacobs. Volunteers are concerned that ICE will keep them there through the long weekend.

Volunteers noticed an uptick in detentions at the San Diego ICE office on Thursday, and officers detained at least 11 people who came for appointments.

Breaking News: ICE in San Diego has a new policy — detain everyone When Gloria Morales-Palos’ cousin received a letter from an immigration officer in the hallway after his immigration court hearing on Thursday, they thought he might end up with an ankle monitor. Instead, ICE detained Morales-Palos’ cousin, putting him on an elevator to go down to the basement holding cells. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers in San Diego have been handing letters to people coming out of court hearings telling them they have immediate appointments with its office two floors below in the federal building since early September. At those appointments, they usually fit the person with some kind of tracking device, most commonly an ankle monitor. But now that’s changed. Morales-Palos’ cousin was among 11 people that volunteers observed ICE detain at its appointment offices on Thursday. Many of those detained didn't have court hearings — they showed up for scheduled appointments to check in with ICE. According to the volunteer, all of the people detained had been in the United States for at least a decade if not multiple decades.
