Community leaders and loved ones of a local activist who was "abducted" by men at gunpoint in an unmarked car on her way to work in South Los Angeles are demanding information on her whereabouts.

What we know:

Yuriana Juliana "Juli" Pelaez Calderon was detained on June 25.

According to the family's lawyer with Immigrant Defenders Law Center, Calderon was taken at gunpoint by two men in unmarked cars. During a phone call, she was able to share with her family that she was not taken to a detention center or processed. Instead, she said she was taken to the border at San Ysidro, where she was presented with self-deportation paperwork.

"But when Juli refused to sign the paperwork, when Juli demanded to see a judge, when Juli demanded to speak to an attorney, she was punished," the attorney said. "She was taken back to an unmarked van along with other travelers who were also insisting on their rights, and taken to a warehouse where she was only given water. A warehouse where she was not given food. A warehouse, where men and women were held together. A warehouse without any law enforcement employee, without any official there present," he added.

Calderon told her family she is being held at the warehouse until she agrees to sign the voluntary self-deportation paperwork.

I told you so…

You "told" us about a hoax-like story about bounty hunters kidnapping people to get them to self-deport? Do you have a link to where you told us this?
 
Yeah, maga has decided that the people no longer have rights.......



......and armed masked agents are now allowed to do as they please........



......they claim it has something to with making America great. :rolleyes:

Sounds a little sketch.

Being illegally detained in a warehouse but making two phone calls to her family? Lawyered up?
 
Homan doesn't need bounty hunters.

She was allowed phone calls at the border by ICE . She refused to sign…care to prove its not true? Should be easy to show she’s not being held
 
Yeah, he does 8500 agents aren’t enough to operate in all 50 states in every city
How do you know Clara? Ever heard if prioritizing? Doncha think there is lower hanging fruit in So Cal verses say, Boise?
 
How do I know? Lmao thats 150 agents for every state plus every territory
Prioritization as I mentioned. Let me know when you hear of bounty hunter stories in Des Moines.

That bad actors (well, those besides trump's ICE goons) would rush to take advantage of ICE's refusal to have clearly-marked (and credible) law enforcement clothing AND its use of cloth bandana masks was a given.

There is no prioritization. Go back to your being excited about baking babies in the Everglades and celebrating Loomer calling for mass extermination of 20% if the population

Wait again....... I thought the outrage was ICE was focused on LA and So Cal in general?

And do have any proof that they are not prioritizing where they concentrate their resources?
 
Couldn't she just say the address of the warehouse over the phone?
 
lol.... They blindfolded her.
That was my first thought, but I searched the article and it wasn't mentioned. You'd think that detail would make it into the phone call/story if this were true. The article goes as far as to whine about lack of food, but she could certainly skip a meal:
1751520179167.webp
...but no mention of blindfolding?

And LEO could GPS her phone if she was illegally held.
