ICE Reportedly Conduct Raid at Pasadena Apartment Complex Early Saturday
Immigration and Customs Enforcement deportation officers were reported early Saturday at an apartment complex located in the 500 block of Marengo Ave. in the Villa Park area of Pasadena.
Witnesses described at least three unmarked vehicles—a Ford Explorer, a Dodge Charger, and a Hyundai SUV—converging on the property.
Several workers were detained, though the exact number remains unclear. One source reported three individuals were taken into custody.
The complex is known to house many local workers, and the unannounced federal presence stirred unease in the neighborhood.
In response to social media reports of what appears to be federal enforcement activity at Villa Parke Saturday morning—and concerns about the potential for conflict—the City of Pasadena announced it is canceling all programming today, June 21, including swim lessons and other events at Villa Parke, Robinson Park, and Victory Park.
Officials cited an abundance of caution to ensure the community’s safety. Parks remain open at this time.
