ICE Raids in California: Report Hundreds of Immigrant Detentions During Massive Operation in October 2026 Activists Warn About Detentions in Agricultural Areas. Reports Link Deployment to a 45-Day Intervention Without Federal Confirmation - 2 minutes reading Activists reported more than 100 arrests of immigrants during the first days of October 2026 in California, amid reports of a supposed federal deployment called Safe California. Where Detentions Were Reported During ICE Raids in California - According to Telemundo on October 10, the detentions include areas near agricultural fields in Fresno and the Central Valley. - The intervention reportedly began near San Diego and would last at least 45 days, although the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) avoided confirming its existence in response to journalistic inquiries. Telemundo reported arrests near agricultural areas and gathered activists' estimates of more than 100 people detained in the last few days. The report does not provide an individualized list or an official figure that allows establishing how many cases correspond to the alleged operation. Reports were also made about detainees whose whereabouts were unknown, a situation that makes it difficult for their families to identify where they are and seek legal assistance. Among the testimonies collected is that of Prudencio Rivera, who recounted that he was detained and subsequently released as he had no criminal record. What is Known About the Alleged 45-Day Safe California Operation The deployment began in San Diego and its surroundings, with a planned duration of at least one and a half months. Sources cited by Univision stated that agents received instructions to detain undocumented immigrants, even those without criminal records. - The local outlet also described an advance towards Los Angeles and San Francisco, with personnel from offices in those cities; these details remain attributed to confidential sources. - When consulted by the Washington Examiner, the DHS responded that it does not disclose or discuss police operations for reasons of personnel security. Therefore, the federal response leaves the name, schedule, and scope of the alleged deployment unconfirmed publicly.
