SAN DIEGO (KGTV) \u2014 ICE agents arrested a person near San Diego City College that officials believe was a student Tuesday morning and chased a second student onto college grounds before stopping, according to college officials.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 9:30 a.m. at 16th Street and C Street, just steps from the San Diego City College campus. College officials said unmarked ICE vehicles stopped a car at that intersection and arrested the driver, who officials believe was a student.<\/p>\n
The passenger \u2014 also a student \u2014 ran onto campus. College officials said ICE agents stopped their pursuit when they realized they were on college property.<\/p>\n
Video sent to ABC 10News shows the moment agents detained the student.<\/p>\n
In response, students gathered on campus and used chalk to write messages on the ground condemning ICE.<\/p>\n
Karen Martinez, a San Diego City College student, described the reaction.<\/p>\n
“Everyone grabbed a piece of chalk and started drawing and writing,” Martinez said.<\/p>\n
Martinez said the act of writing carried deeper meaning for her and her fellow students.<\/p>\n
“Write something down and cement it into the ground, into our walls, is almost- it’s just it for me personally it’s a sign that. Our art is our way of expressing ourselves too,” Martinez said.<\/p>\n
Community activist Arturo Gonzalez said he arrived at the scene after agents had already left.<\/p>\n
“When I got here, they were already leaving the scene, and so from what I’ve seen was an abandoned vehicle. Several students distraught,” Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n
Gonzalez said he has been in contact with the Haitian Bridge Alliance to help provide resources to the family of the person detained.<\/p>\n
“We were able to provide resources to have the vehicle safely returned to their family at their home address with no cost to the family,” Gonzalez said.<\/p>\n
San Diego City College said it is reaching out with counseling and legal services to support students and employees impacted by the situation, adding that the safety and well-being of students and employees is its priority.<\/p>\n
ABC 10News reached out to ICE about the incident and is waiting to hear back.<\/p>\n
