People protest in Indio against ICE immigration raids
About 150 people opposed to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown protested Wednesday night at an Indio hotel, as a similar protest was planned in Palm Springs. The events came amid an increase in visible immigration arrests in public places in the Coachella Valley and hours after 70 to 75 undocumented immigrants were arrested during what authorities called a drug investigation in Thermal. A social media flier, headlined "ICE MELTS IN THE DESERT," advertised protests at the Fairfield Inn & Suites in Indio, on Marmara Street, and the Courtyard by Marriott in Palm Springs, on Tahquitz Canyon Way. The reason for the locations wasn't stated on the fliers, but in other cities, people have protested at hotels where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were staying or believed to be staying. That happened Tuesday night at a Hilton Garden Inn in Pomona, as well as last week at several other hotels in Southern California cities. At the Indio hotel on Wednesday, a band played and protesters held signs with messages including 'Don't Separate Families,' 'Remember Ice Melts,' 'This is not about politics, this is about humanity!' and '¡Raza Si Migra No!' (a message in support of the people and against immigration agents). Many cars driving by honked in support. Joaquin Rosales, who was banging a drum by the entrance of the hotel, said he wanted to make noise so guests would look out their windows and see how many people are disgusted by what's going on in their community. 'We're not going to stop fighting until this is done,' he said. He saw the arrests in Mecca and Oasis earlier on Wednesday while he was driving by and said: 'They're grabbing people like we're animals, and it's just very, very bad.' Earlier Wednesday, elected officials and immigrant rights groups said, agents made immigration arrests in the eastern Coachella Valley. Some of the latter arrests came as federal agents were conducting what they called "a vast investigation involving multiple illegal marijuana grow operations in Thermal." A day earlier, on Tuesday, a man was arrested in Cathedral City by masked men who would not identify themselves or their agency. One of the masked men wore a "CBP" patch, although a spokesperson for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the parent agency of the Border Patrol, said it did not conduct an operation in the Coachella Valley on Tuesday.
