CENTRAL COAST, Calif. (KION-TV) — KION caught up with a woman who had a first-hand account of the ICE raid chaos in Carpinteria Thursday.
Claudia Cáceres saying that some people stayed hidden inside a facility until Friday morning to avoid immigration agents.
But for those who couldn’t take shelter, Cáceres says they were torn from their families.
Some children still searching for their detained parents.
“Families are asking for help. It’s like we don’t know the stories. The truth is, it’s very sad,” said Cáceres. “I haven’t been able to sleep because I’m a mother and… to think that so many children were there on the sidelines trying to find out about their relatives, their father, their mother. “We know that many couples work together in the same company.”
She says that relatives of workers from the farm have reached out to her asking if she can help them find their relative in the aftermath of the raid.
