Masked ICE Agents Detain 3 Women In OC

IRVINE, CA — Three women were detained by masked federal immigration officers at an Irvine business this week.

A vehicle with three employees of The Dots Corp, a printing and marketing business, pulled into the company's parking lot at 9700 Toledo Way at around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, when four tinted SUVs surrounded the car, business CEO Jeff Shattuck told The Orange County Register.

According to Shattuck, one officer showed the women a warrant through the vehicle's window. A woman opened the door to the car and three were detained.

In response to the three woman being detained, the City of Irvine issued a statement:

"The City's mission is to create and maintain a community where people can live, work and learn in an environment that is safe and welcoming for all," the city said. "Our response regarding immigration-related matters has not changed — the City of Irvine continues to focus on providing exceptional services to all in our community, regardless of immigration status."
