BREAKING🚨 ICE just pulled a 23-year-old UC Berkeley student out of an SFO boarding gate on her way to a weekend in Portland. She has a work permit and a pending asylum case. Paula Valentina Albornoz Hernandez was sitting at a gate at San Francisco International Airport Friday night with her boyfriend, Anthony. He had planned the trip so they could see Oregon's waterfalls before midterms because, he said, "she deserved a break." A man in plain clothes walked up, told her she looked familiar and started guessing names. Anthony says the man never said he was ICE. On his third guess he got her name right. Agents split the couple up and told her that her visa had expired. "It was scary seeing that my partner was getting ripped apart from me and there's nothing I can do about it," Anthony said. Albornoz Hernandez fled severe gender-based violence in Colombia and came to the U.S. in 2022. She applied for asylum well before the one-year deadline, gave the government her biometrics and got a work permit. Her asylum case is still pending. She has no criminal record. She earned her GED, won awards at San Jose City College and transferred to Berkeley, where she studies business administration and does research on AI. Over the next few days ICE moved her from Stockton to Sacramento, back to Stockton, then to California City in the Mojave Desert, at least five hours from home. A court-ordered investigation earlier this year found major problems with the medical care there. Her lawyer, Nikolas De Bremaeker, says she is distressed and has been suffering from the cold. He says the place "looks like a concentration camp in every way." DHS says she "will receive due process." The federal petition De Bremaeker filed Monday says agents showed no warrant and never checked whether she was a flight risk before they took her. It appears to be the first time ICE has arrested an active Cal student since Trump returned to office. Chancellor Rich Lyons wrote to federal officials calling her "one of our outstanding students." Her friends are emailing her professors so she doesn't fall behind. Anthony says he's consumed by guilt that the trip he planned led to her arrest. Her immigration court hearing is set for Nov. 17. 🚨Before you go… Congress is about to vote to ALLOW animals to be kept in small cages they can’t even turn around—BREAKING🚨 LA just elected a mayor who promised to FIRE the police chief over reports that LAPD shares data with ICE. Now a man who passed every LAPD test says five ICE agents were waiting at the jail door when he walked out. On Thursday, Sept. 10, police stopped Francisco at a DUI checkpoint near the Figueroa Street off-ramp in downtown Los Angeles. He is a 25-year-old food delivery driver from Nicaragua, and he was on his way to his weekly church service. He blew a 0.000 on the breathalyzer. Officers made him take two more, and he passed those too. Then he passed every field sobriety test. An officer said they suspected narcotics anyway, handcuffed him and took him to LAPD's Metropolitan Detention Center. His blood test came back negative. His fingerprints turned up no criminal record, no warrants and no deportation order. At 11 a.m. he was told he could go. Guards gave back his passport, wallet, phone and chain necklace. He and a friend had already planned to go get chicken at a place downtown. "I had barely stepped outside when I saw five ICE agents waiting for me right there, at the very door." California's SB54 bans local police from helping ICE except with violent or serious offenders. That includes telling ICE when someone is being released. The ACLU and the Asian Law Caucus say curbside handoffs like this one are designed to get around the law. Francisco says the ICE agents never read him his rights and told him he wouldn't be deported. By 8 that night he had been shackled at the waist, driven three hours to the Adelanto detention center and locked in a freezing holding cell. The next morning, guards asked him to sign papers agreeing to his own deportation. He refused. He says the showers were hot enough to leave burn marks. A California Department of Justice investigation called conditions there "cruel, inhumane, and unacceptable." He got out after 27 days, only because his lawyer filed a habeas petition. Legal fees ate all his savings. When LAPD books someone, it sends their fingerprints to the state, which passes them to a national database that ICE can search. Police Chief Jim McDonnell says state law requires this and that LAPD doesn't work with ICE on immigration enforcement. Nithya Raman campaigned on "credible reports" that LAPD shared fingerprint data with ICE and promised to fire McDonnell. On Thursday, she won the race for mayor of Los Angeles.
