SACRAMENTO, Calif. —

Sixteen organizations in Sacramento are demanding accountability from ICE and local law enforcement, following recent actions involving federal agents in the city.

In a letter to the mayor and city council , the groups condemn the actions of ICE agents in Sacramento, particularly the detention of refugees, immigrants, and protesters at the John Moss Federal Building, and allege violent arrests of peaceful demonstrators on Nov. 5.

They also criticize Sacramento police for helping ICE by citing protesters for minor infractions, saying it undercuts First Amendment rights.

"In particular, one resident was cited for jaywalking while he was checking on residents across the street," said Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang in Tuesday's council meeting.
