U.S. Senators Adam Schiff and Alex Padilla are seeking answers after ICE agents made separate visits to a Sacramento law firm and a nonprofit last week.

The visits to the Morris Law Group in Natomas and Wind Youth Services are now drawing federal and local attention.

Schiff and Padilla’s offices confirmed they want answers about why ICE showed up and what happened inside the two locations. Schiff’s office also reached out to Wind Youth Services CEO Miren Hower on Thursday morning.

Sacramento City Councilmember Lisa Kaplan is also calling on the administration to stop what she described as inappropriate conduct.

Kaplan said she was angry after hearing that ICE agents showed up unannounced and without a warrant at the Morris Law Group in Natomas.

Last Friday, immigration attorney Raissa Morris told ABC10 that ICE agents tried to get access to her business to check whether there were any beds for her clients in her office. She turned them away because they did not have a warrant.

The Department of Homeland Security gave a different account. A spokesperson provided ABC10 with this statement:

“On August 14, ICE officers approached an unmarked door during a targeted enforcement operation, thinking it was the target address as it was listed as the address of the illegal aliens they were planning to arrest. Upon finding out it was a law firm; they departed the address.”

Kaplan disputed that explanation. Video of the front of the building shows it clearly identified as a law office. ABC10 asked DHS and ICE why officers still engaged with office staff even though the location was identified as a law firm. The agencies did not respond.

Schiff and Padilla’s offices confirmed they will investigate the visit, as well as the incident at Wind Youth Services.

At Wind Youth Services, ICE agents showed up last Friday morning asking for a person they said wanted to self-deport.

Hower said she turned them away because they did not have a warrant.

A DHS spokesperson told ABC10 this:

“On August 14, ICE officers attempted to locate Victor Elieser Solano Pena, a criminal illegal alien from Venezuela charged with trespassing, at the Wind Youth Services homeless shelter in Sacramento, California, after he indicated he wishes to return to his home country during an immigration hearing. During the visit, staff did not allow the ICE officer inside the building, so the officer waited outside on public property and requested staff inform Solano Pena that ICE officers were there to assist Solano Pena in his return home. After a woman came outside demanding the officer leave, the officer requested his message be relayed to Solano Pena and the officers departed without incident. 

Border Patrol encountered Solano Pena on May 10, 2023, and he was RELEASED into the country by the Biden administration to a non-governmental organization (NGO). On November 24, 2025, ICE lodged a detainer for Solano Pena with the Sacramento County Jail, which was not honored. On December 21, 2025, ICE was notified that local law enforcement took custody of Solano Pena, but he was released from their custody before any action could be taken. On April 30, ICE lodged a detainer for Solano Pena with the Sacramento County Jail after he was arrested for trespassing. He was issued a final order of removal on August 12.

Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, ICE is targeting the worst of the worst. Nearly 70% of ICE arrests are of illegal aliens charged or convicted of a crime in the U.S.”

Hower said that while she disagrees with ICE’s tactics, she will not give any agency access to the organization or share information without a warrant.

“We feel very supported by law enforcement,” Hower said. “But we also don’t share information with them without a warrant. Wind (Youth) has to be a safe place. We serve youth experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness.”

Morris was not available for an interview Thursday, but she pushed back on DHS’ statement. She said her building is clearly marked and that anyone looking for the building address would have seen the logo and firm name on the building.
