The city of Irvine confirmed on Thursday that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents had notified that they would be conducting targeted immigration enforcement operations at several locations throughout the city.

City officials emphasized that the operations are not broad-based raids targeting individuals solely for their immigration status.

Irvine Councilmember Kathleen Treseder is urging undocumented residents and vulnerable individuals to remain indoors, avoid unnecessary travel, and contact the OC Rapid Response Network if ICE activity is witnessed.

The hotline number is (714) 881-1558.

In response to heightened anxiety among residents, the city has activated its Emergency Operations Center at Level 1 and implemented protocols to support public safety and law enforcement, addressing the evolving situation.

 A dedicated city webpage has also been launched to provide residents with updates and legal resources.

Mayor Larry Agran released a statement reaffirming Irvine’s commitment to inclusion and public safety.

“Irvine is—and will always be—a community of inclusion, respect, and unity,” Agran said. “Our residents come from every corner of the world, and we remain steadfast in ensuring they feel safe and supported.”

The Irvine Police Department clarified that it is not involved in any federal immigration enforcement activities. Officials reiterated that the department’s mission is to protect all members of the community and build trust, regardless of immigration status.
