It's been a full week in Roseville with lots of activity related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement activity and the community's response.

In recent days and weeks, Roseville residents report witnessing people being detained by ICE, unmarked vehicles driving erratically on city streets, families keeping kids home from school, ICE agents intimidating bystanders, and federal agents in city parks, gas stations, parking lots, restaurants, and hotels. Many residents in Roseville are stepping up and speaking out against this, calling on the city to do more and organizing grassroots efforts to support immigrants in the community.

Let's catch up with what's happened over the past seven days.
