U.S. citizen and Orange County attorney put into ICE van along with others enjoying a day in the park [View all]

https://archive.ph/HTP6Y

Heidi Plummer, a U.S. citizen and Orange County attorney, strolled through Centennial Regional Park in Santa Ana on June 14 to clear her mind after a family funeral when she suddenly encountered an immigration raid.

The park, with its vast grassy fields, playgrounds and artificial lake, usually bustles with families watching youth soccer games on weekends while push-cart vendors sell ice pops.
“There were families picnicking and spending time together,” Plummer said. “But it was definitely a quiet day.”



Plummer recounted seeing several vans pull into a big parking lot near where she walked, sometime between noon and 1 p.m. Masked federal agents poured out of the vans wearing tactical gear emblazoned with “ICE” and made their way through the park.

“They were just grabbing people that were close to them and handcuffing them,” Plummer said.


She stood only a few feet from the sweep, she said, when ICE agents approached and arrested her. Plummer said the federal agents didn’t ask any questions before taking her personal belongings and leading her back to their vans.
