The neighbors are concerned after a man from southern California said that federal immigration workers were taken by federal immigration agents while working outside his home.
On Thursday morning, Christopher Amis said that his garden insisted the grass outside his home on Fifth Street Street and Buldar Street in Ontario.
His neighbors, who saw the men who were detained, quickly alerted him to the accident.
Amis said: “They have left the weeds soles here in the front garden.” “Throw the gardeners phones in them [work truck]Besides the keys of cars, leave everything open and just set out. “
The neighbors who learned from the arrests said they were slightly stunned.
“I think this is a mistake,” Amis Sandra Mitchell told KTLA. “This is not the way we deal with people and this is not the way this country should be behaved.”

Late Thursday night, a member of the Bustani family, a man named Louis, arrived at Ontario’s home to the leadership of the work truck.
Louis said that the two men were captured by agents with immigration and customs (ICE) and they were unable to contact them.
He said: “They were my family while we were living in fear.”
One of the neighbors, Rose, said that she had seen arrests from her home across the street.
“I understand that people only take their jobs and people here illegally,” she said. “I get the entire picture. But to wander in a way like this, I just hope they will have the opportunity to reach their families.”
While leaving men’s mobile phones, Rose said she was concerned that they would not have a way to contact loved ones to inform them of their detention, and left them in distress.
She said: “As a mother and wife, if I expect someone to return to the house and not return to the house and I have no way to get to them or find it, then this is the frightening part.”
Family members said they have no idea about where the two men are detained and hope to contact them soon.
Although the authorities did not comment on the private gardeners issue, the Ontario Police Department confirmed to KTLA that Ice agents performed operations in Ontario Thursday morning.
