Santa Cruz Police Chief Kevin Vogel blasted the Department of Homeland Security in a scathing press conference Thursday after an investigation revealed that, according to Vogel, ICE agents conducted a secret immigration raid and high-ranking federal officials lied to police. VIDEO: Watch Vogel's complete press conference here The Santa Cruz Police Department teamed up with Homeland Security to conduct a gang raid in 12 neighborhoods of Live Oak, Capitola, and Santa Cruz on Feb. 13. Ten suspected MS-13 gang members were arrested. Vogel said he only agreed to work with federal agents because he was assured several times that immigration detentions and deportations would have no part in the operation, and only violent MS-13 gang members would be arrested. Vogel said Homeland Security lied. In the days following the raid, ICE eventually admitted to police that some residents who had not committed any crimes were detained and taken to a Homeland Security facility because they were illegal immigrants. "This flies in the face of the values that our community holds very deeply. The community has an absolute right to be angry over this," Vogel said. ICE spokesman James Schwab released a statement to KSBW late Thursday afternoon claiming that Vogel was fully aware the raid would include immigration enforcement. "Several days prior to the operation, our Special Agent-in-Charge office notified the Santa Cruz Chief of Police that any non-targeted foreign nationals encountered during the enforcement actions at the search and arrest locations would be held briefly until determinations could be made about their identities and case histories," Schwab wrote.

But neighbors told KSBW that some people were taken away solely based on their immigration status. On Feb. 14, upset residents spoke out at City Council meeting and said ICE detained people because of their immigration status, took people away from their homes, tore families apart, and left children alone without adult supervision. Vogel and Flippo were at the meeting, and became increasingly concerned. "The information provided from our community sounded credible," Vogel said.

No one at Homeland Security would tell Flippo who was personally responsible for ordering the immigration detentions, but they did eventually admit that it happened. "I am very angry this occurred and I'm disgusted this was withheld from me and they did not communicate with the community what occurred," Flippo said. "The detention and the removal of these individuals based solely upon their immigration status flies in the face of the City Council resolution declaring Santa Cruz a place of trust and safety for all local immigrants, as well as the values our community holds very, very deeply," Vogel said. "This has violated the trust of our community, and we cannot tell you how disappointed we are by the betrayal of the Department of Homeland Security," Vogel said. Homeland Security refused to provide a list of names and addresses to police of immigrants who were detained. Flippo said he still doesn't know how many people were detained by immigration officials. Vogel apologized to residents who "fell victim" to the ICE raid. They were mostly family members of the 10 suspected MS-13 gang members. The police chief and Flippo remain confident that the 10 men arrested during the gang raid were violent criminals who posed an imminent threat to public safety. The 10 men indicted by a federal grand jury on gang, drug, an extortion charges were identified as: Velarmino Escobar-Ayala, aka "Meduza;" Tomas Rivera, aka "Profugo;" Ismael Alvarenga-Rivera, aka "Casper;" Willfredo Edgardo-Ayala, aka "Chino;" Jose David Abrego-Galdamez, aka "Largo;" Melvin Lopez, aka "Sharky;" Alexander Martinez-Flores, aka "Pocar;" Gerber Morales, aka "Choco;" Emilio Escobar-Albarnga, aka "Diablo;" and Josue Alcedis Escobar-Cerritos, aka "Penguino." Some of the 10 arrested were responsible for at least four past homicides, Vogel said. Santa Cruz police had been investigating MS-13 for the past five years, and they received intelligence that the gang was going to carry out a homicide imminently. On Wednesday, the Santa Cruz Police Department contacted U.S. Rep. Jimmy Panetta and U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris, and they agreed to investigate the Department of Homeland Security to find more answers about Feb. 13. Mayor Cynthia Chase said she is "deeply disturbed and upset by the information that has come to light." Chase said the Department of Homeland Security violated and defied the city's sanctuary status. The City Council will discuss at its next meeting how the city can strengthen its support for immigrants who live in fear of being deported, she said. "We understand and recognize the anger and fear that are circulating throughout the community. Now is the time to stand in solidarity and work together. We are a community that protects its members," Chase said. "There is no question that this action has torn families apart, and I am heartbroken about that," Chase said. Chase said the city will work with Panetta and Harris' offices to ensure "the full truth comes out."
