U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has intensified its worksite raids across multiple states in early July 2025. On July 1, ICE arrested 28 to 30 undocumented immigrants at Buckeye Fire Equipment Company in North Carolina, with many facing felony charges including aggravated identity theft. On July 6, federal agents conducted a raid at a car wash in Anaheim, California, resulting in multiple arrests. Subsequently, on July 10, ICE carried out a large-scale operation at the Alba Wine and Spirits warehouse in Edison, New Jersey, detaining nearly two dozen undocumented workers. Later that day, ICE agents conducted a raid at a cannabis farm in Ventura County, California, which escalated into a standoff with protesters, involving the use of smoke canisters. These enforcement actions are part of a broader wave of immigration raids targeting workplaces and agricultural sites in Southern California and other regions.
