San Diego County Sheriff’s Department assisted in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrest operation in Spring Valley, a community in southeastern San Diego County. The operation, which took place earlier in the week, involved the detention of an individual, though specific details about the person’s identity or charges were not disclosed. The Sheriff’s Department deployed 15 deputies to the scene, responding to a request for support from ICE agents who faced resistance from local residents. The event prompted a gathering of approximately 50 neighbors, some expressing concerns about the use of local law enforcement in federal immigration actions. The operation concluded without reported injuries, and the Sheriff’s Department issued a statement confirming their role was limited to maintaining public safety. This marks the third such joint operation in San Diego County in 2025, following similar events in January and April. Posts found on X indicate mixed community sentiment, with some residents supporting the action and others questioning its impact on local policing priorities. The Sheriff’s Department has scheduled a public forum for July 20 to address community feedback, expecting attendance of around 200 people based on prior events. The operation aligns with ongoing federal efforts to enforce immigration laws, with no further details released pending official reports.
