Quick Summary

On Wednesday, two women from Santa Ana were arrested for allegedly following and harassing off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents with a megaphone, blocking their vehicle, and running red lights. Madison Crabill, 25, and Adilene Tonoco, 33, are described as regular monitors of ICE activities who use public spaces to observe the agency’s operations. The women's supporters argue that watching ICE is constitutionally protected and does not constitute stalking or a threat. This incident highlights tensions in Santa Ana, which remains Orange County’s sole sanctuary city refusing cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
