SAN JOSE — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials were conducting an operation in the city on Sunday, Mayor Matt Mahan said in a statement.

The San Jose Police Department was notified that ICE would be carrying out an operation Sunday earlier that morning.

Mahan added that San Jose police does not assist with ICE operations “in any way.”

“I sincerely hope that ICE remains focused on enforcement actions related to violent and serious criminals harming our city, not neighbors who are contributing and law-abiding members of our community,” Mahan said.
