Over the past year, masked immigration agents have conducted a number of largely secret arrests on Red Bank streets as party of the controversial nationwide crackdown.
While the number of those arrested since the start of the year appears to run well into the double-digits, the agency has released the name of just one of those arrested, Jose Hernandez-Ruano, a suspect involved in the Feb. 4 attack of a neighbor with a metal club, a gun and gasoline.
On Saturday, a 6 pm vigil is being planned at Johnny Jazz Park as part of a nationwide series of remembrances of people killed by ICE agents or who died in ICE custody.
