Stop the ICE Raids & Distractions: Investigate Names Listed in the Epstein Files & Recuse Biggs! · Mesa Valley Indivisible

## ⚖️ Stop the ICE Raids & Distractions: Recuse House Rep. Andy Biggs & Investigate Names Listed Now! The Administration is letting escalating international conflicts like the illegal Iran War and high-profile ICE raids dominate the headlines as a calculated distraction to bury the unredacted Epstein files. We cannot allow these crises to shield the powerful from scrutiny while the DOJ stalls on releasing the full documents and prosecuting the broader network of abuse exposed in millions of pages of evidence. **📢 Mesa Valley Indivisible is taking to the streets on Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 9:00am** to demand safety, transparency, and real accountability. Mesa Valley Indivisible stands firmly with survivors of sexual violence and abuse. We refuse to let powerful figures ignore the voices of the vulnerable. ### 🚩Our Demands: **1. The Full, Unredacted Epstein Files:** Release all 5.2 million pages of the Epstein files immediately. We know the majority are unredacted—stop hiding them. Rep. Biggs and the House Oversight Committee must push for the complete, unredacted release of all documents. **2. The Appointment of a Special Prosecutor:** Bypass the deep conflicts of interest within the DOJ and the Oversight Committee by appointing an independent special prosecutor. We demand a dedicated criminal probe into every individual named in the files as a participant in or facilitator of abuse. We demand a full, independent federal investigation into the comprehensive trafficking networks and allegations brought forward by survivors, including the public testimony of Sascha Riley. **3. An End to the War for Oil:** Stop using geopolitical conflicts like the illegal Iran War to distract the public from domestic accountability. **4. Stop the Surge of ICE Raids:** End the ICE neighborhood invasions as well as the kidnapping and murdering of our community members. Stop the aggressive targeting, separation, and destabilization of families in our local communities. **5. The Investigation & Recusal of Andy Biggs:** We demand a public hearing on the Sascha Riley allegations and Biggs's immediate recusal from the House Oversight Committee. Hold Representative Biggs accountable to his role. He must stop the political gatekeeping and push for the complete, unredacted disclosure of all documents and names connected to systemic abuse networks—no cover-ups, no exceptions. ### 🚨Important! - Please [click here to view additional information regarding Mesa Valley Indivisible's key concerns](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YuoPvzbOj6KLXZKRWz7QJjQU4VckMmP3N_h26oEET_k/edit?pli=1&tab=t.0) driving the protest. - Before the protest, please make sure to contact our governments offices and tell them your demands by [clicking this link](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1oDkJ3MY1nNap_fhzK8K8pTSWYg53Vsk9hBXcN0LkER0/edit?usp=sharing) – you will be provided with the contact phone numbers, email, addresses, websites, etc. and scripts for each. ### 🪧Signs & Messaging Please bring signs related to the Epstein Files, Wars, and/or Andy Biggs if possible.

ICE Out of Home Depot Phoenix Protest · Mobilize

Across the country, ICE agents continue to target immigrants in and around Home Depot stores — workers, customers, and surrounding communities. These raids are chaotic, violent, and sometimes deadly. This week, they raided the Home Depot on 36th and Thomas in Phoenix and took several workers. Enough! These atrocities are happening on Home Depot’s watch — on its properties, with its silence. The company has not taken public steps to resist or condemn these raids, nor has it demanded that the government stop carrying out enforcement operations at its stores. This Saturday we are coming together outside of the store to demand that they take a stand. Join us! Through its silence and inaction, Home Depot has become ICE’s passive partner. Every raid on its properties deepens fear in our communities. Our nationwide actions showed that people are paying attention — and now we must keep up the pressure. We demand that Home Depot immediately: 1. Make it stop. Home Depot must immediately do all it can to prevent ICE agents from swarming its properties and stores. Shut down stores. Evict the masked gunmen. Resist the Administration’s racist, violent mass-deportation campaign. 2. Make it safe. Home Depot must commit to restoring its properties into welcoming places for all people, regardless of immigration status. Every customer, worker, employee and community member deserves safety and freedom from fear. 3. Make it public. Home Depot must publicly condemn ICE raids on its properties. It must reject the use of its stores as sites of fear and random violence.

ICE Raid at San Diego Restaurant Sparks National Debate Over Enforcement Tactics

By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

Baybay City, Leyte, Philippines — May 14, 2026 — 21:05 PHST

A May 30, 2025 immigration raid at the South Park location of the San Diego restaurant group Buona Forchetta continues to draw national attention nearly a year later, after armed federal agents detained workers during dinner service and used flash-bang grenades as community protests erupted outside the restaurant.

The operation, carried out by agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), took place around 4:30 p.m. local time during a busy Friday dinner rush. Witnesses said agents entered the restaurant in tactical gear, handcuffed employees, and moved workers outside while customers were forced from the building.

According to local reporting and later-unsealed search warrants, the investigation centered on allegations that some employees used fraudulent immigration documents during the hiring process. Federal investigators claimed that approximately 19 employees among a workforce of roughly 40 people had allegedly submitted fraudulent green cards or false documentation during employment verification procedures.

Community Reaction Escalated Quickly

The raid rapidly became a public confrontation after neighborhood residents, restaurant patrons, and nearby families gathered outside the restaurant while agents attempted to leave the area.

Witnesses described masked federal agents carrying rifles while protesters surrounded vehicles and shouted at officers. Federal agents eventually deployed flash-bang grenades in an attempt to disperse the crowd. Nearby schools reportedly altered dismissal procedures because of the disturbance.

Video and photographs from the scene spread widely online over the following days, helping turn a local immigration enforcement action into a broader national political controversy.

Several San Diego-area elected officials criticized the operation publicly, arguing the tactics used appeared excessive given that there was no public indication the detained restaurant workers had violent criminal histories beyond alleged immigration violations.

The Timeline Behind the Raid

Federal documents later revealed that the investigation reportedly began after an anonymous complaint filed in November 2020 alleged that undocumented workers were employed by the restaurant group.

According to the search warrant affidavit, a second complaint was reportedly received in January 2025, leading to a renewed federal investigation under the Trump administration’s expanded immigration enforcement priorities. Federal investigators later conducted employment verification audits before carrying out the May 30, 2025 enforcement operation.

The raid occurred during a broader nationwide push for increased immigration arrests and workplace enforcement operations. Reports at the time indicated that federal immigration officials faced pressure from senior administration figures to substantially increase daily arrest numbers nationwide.

A Larger Political Issue

The San Diego operation became politically significant not only because of the arrests themselves, but because of the visual presentation of the enforcement action.

Images of heavily armed agents entering a neighborhood restaurant during normal business hours intensified criticism that immigration enforcement in the United States had become increasingly militarized in appearance and execution.

Supporters of the operation argued that the federal government was enforcing immigration and employment laws already on the books. Critics argued that the tactical style of the raid blurred the line between immigration enforcement and military-style domestic policing.

The incident also highlighted a growing divide between federal immigration policy and local political leadership in many American cities, particularly in California.

Long-Term Impact

The Buona Forchetta raid became one of several highly visible immigration enforcement actions in California during 2025. The event contributed to expanded immigrant-rights demonstrations, neighborhood rapid-response organizing efforts, and renewed debate over workplace raids and federal detention practices.

The restaurant group temporarily closed locations following the incident before eventually resuming operations.

For many observers, the raid became a symbol of a broader shift in immigration enforcement tactics during the second Trump administration, particularly the increasing use of highly visible tactical operations in civilian public spaces.
