MATSUI STATEMENT ON ICE RAID IN SACRAMENTO

WASHINGTON D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Doris Matsui (CA-07), released the following statement after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) conducted a raid in the parking lot of the Home Depot off Florin Road in Sacramento.

“It’s outrageous and infuriating for federal agents to show up unannounced, masked, and violently abduct our neighbors,” said Congresswoman Matsui. “The Trump Administration is weaponizing ICE to spread fear and terrorize our communities. This raid was not about effective law enforcement—it was about causing chaos and disruption. It violated people’s rights, dignity, and basic due process. Let’s be clear: this is a deliberate, calculated effort to create an atmosphere of intimidation. It’s a flagrant abuse of power.”

“Here in Sacramento, we will not back down in the face of authoritarianism,” Matsui continued. “We refuse to stand by while our neighbors are cruelly targeted and torn from our community. We are united in defense of our immigrant families—committed to ensuring they have the support, protection, and dignity they deserve. I am working closely with our community members and advocates on the ground to stand up for our neighbors.”
