Community members and officials in Hays County, Texas, have gathered repeatedly to mark three months since Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detained 47 to 49 people during a raid in Dripping Springs in April 2025. The operation, which targeted a birthday party, has drawn criticism and demands for transparency from local authorities and immigration advocates. Hays County officials have expressed frustration over the lack of clear communication from federal agencies regarding the reasons for the detentions, the exact number of individuals taken, and their current whereabouts. The county judge described the raid as "kidnappings" and challenged claims that those detained were affiliated with gangs. The event has become a focal point for community protests, with roses placed at the Hays County Courthouse to symbolize those detained, including minors. Despite public pressure, many details about the federal operation remain undisclosed.
