Alex Brandon/Associated PressFederal immigration officers raided an East Oakland home on Tuesday and detained at least six people, including a minor and a person with a severe disability, according to an immigration attorney.ICE officers made the arrests at a home near 79th Avenue and Hillside Street on Tuesday morning after a person inside slightly opened the door, said Nikolas De Bremaeker, an attorney at Centro Legal de la Raza and the Alameda County Rapid Response Network. Six people, including a 17-year-old, from multiple Central American countries were arrested and taken to the ICE field office in San Francisco. Some of them were siblings, De Bremaeker said. It was not immediately known if the detainees had any criminal histories, he said.ICE spokespeople did not respond to the Chronicle’s request for more information on the arrests.Article continues below this adDe Bremaeker condemned ICE officials for detaining the 17-year-old at its field office because he said it does not meet the criterion of the Flores Settlement Agreement, which established decadeslong standards for detaining children in safe and sanitary facilities.“The ICE field office is definitely not an appropriate location for a child to be,” De Bremaeker said.San Francisco Chronicle LogoMake us a Preferred Source to get more of our news when you search.Add Preferred SourceDe Bremaeker said the minor was taken to a hotel late Tuesday night but was brought back to an ICE field office Wednesday morning.
