ICE Agents Detain Suspected Undocumented Immigrants In Raids — LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 14: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), agents detain an immigrant on October 14, 2015 in Los Angeles, California. ICE agents said the immigrant, a legal resident with a Green Card, was a convicted criminal and member of the Alabama Street Gang in the Canoga Park area. ICE builds deportation cases against thousands of immigrants living in the United States. Green Card holders are also vulnerable to deportation if convicted of certain crimes. The number of ICE detentions and deportations from California has dropped since the state passed the Trust Act in October 2013, which set limits on California state law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

SANTA ANA, CA: A California man who impersonated a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent and threatened to deport a woman if she didn’t give him money has been sentenced to eight months in prison.
City News Service says Luis Flores-Mendoza of Santa Ana pleaded guilty last year and was sentenced.
Investigators say Flores-Mendoza wore a uniform and carried a badge and a handgun when the alleged threat was made.
Police say Flores-Mendoza went to an Orange County restaurant where the victim worked and gave her a fake letter from ICE outlining a supposed immigration case against her. Police say he then threatened to deport her to Mexico unless she gave him cash. Authorities say Flores-Mendoza was driving a car with police-style lights and a siren when he was arrested. AP
