There, increased ICE presence didn\u2019t appear overnight \u2014 it started gradually with expanded presence, broader enforcement, and normalizing fear. What began there locally is now repeating nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using funding from the Big Beautiful Bill, and fast-tracking leases under an \u201cunusual or compelling urgency\u201d statute, ICE offices are aggressively expanding across the US. This rapid expansion includes many locations in California, including OC\u2019s <strong>Irvine <\/strong>and <strong>Santa Ana<\/strong>, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/2026\/02\/10\/ice-reportedly-leases-office-spaces-in-irvine-and-santa-ana\/\">Feb 11 Orange County Register article<\/a>. One proposed office space is at 2020 Main Street in Irvine, in a privately owned high-rise office complex. The Irvine space is located by a childcare agency, an Equinox gym, and John Wayne Airport.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is news to me,\u201d said Irvine Mayor Larry Agran. \u201cWe try to maintain some channel of communication with Border Patrol, with ICE, with Homeland Security. It\u2019s not easy to do.\u201d&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Santa Ana Federal Building in Santa Ana<\/strong> is another proposed ICE site, situated blocks from a church and high school sports stadium. Other alleged federal properties proposed for the ICE expansion include the <strong>John E. Moss building in Sacramento<\/strong>, and the <strong>Edward J. Schwartz Courthouse and federal building in San Diego. <\/strong>Los AngelesICE operations are thought to be expanding to the <strong>Van Nuys<\/strong> <strong>James C. Corman federal building<\/strong> as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>This isn\u2019t just a Minneapolis issue anymore- it\u2019s a national pattern that is coming to neighborhoods like ours. Such increases to ICE facilities don\u2019t stay contained \u2014 they ripple outward into everyday communities.
