FULLERTON, CA \u2014 Fullerton police aided Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents Thursday morning after receiving a report of a Hispanic man armed with a handgun jumping fences in town. <\/p>\n
The call was made at around 6:44 a.m. Thursday morning, when police were told that the caller saw a Hispanic man wearing a white shirt and armed with a handgun jumping fences in the area. <\/p>\n
Upon arrival, police were flagged down by ICE agents, who confirmed a male suspect had fled from them and was armed with a handgun. <\/p>\n
“Because of the potential threat of an armed suspect in the area, FPD officers quickly assisted by setting up a perimeter, prioritizing pubic safety of residents and officers, while ICE agents searched for their suspects,” police said in a statement. <\/p>\n
“While Senate Bill 54 prohibits local law enforcement agencies from participating in federal immigration enforcement, ICE is a federal law enforcement agency, and the Fullerton Police Department will assist them \u2014 and any other local, state or federal law enforcement agency \u2014 when there is an immediate threat to officer safety or public safety.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FULLERTON, CA \u2014 Fullerton police aided Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agents Thursday morning after receiving a report of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":145041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[163,165,164],"class_list":["post-145040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=145040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/145040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=145040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=145040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=145040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
