"It's outrageous:" San Diego representatives denounce federal judge over chaotic ICE raid



San Diego congressional representatives and other elected officials criticized a federal judge during a Monday press conference for issuing the warrant that led to the chaotic scene following an ICE raid in South Park.

Catch up quick: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained four Buona Forchetta employees Friday during an operation that devolved into a confrontation with community members, with flash-bang grenades deployed in the street.


Rep. Juan Vargas (D-San Diego), who lives blocks from the incident, challenged U.S. Magistrate Judge Karen Crawford's decision to issue a warrant allowing agents to detain all employees in the restaurant, regardless of immigration status.

He demanded a meeting with the chief judge of the Southern District of California to understand how the warrant was approved.

"To think, that quiet neighborhood had flash-bang grenades going off and people with machine guns, to arrest a cook — why? Because the court allowed it," Vargas said. "It's outrageous and they shouldn't have done it."
