LIVERMORE, CA — The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has made at least seven arrests around the Tri-Valley in recent weeks, according to the Alameda County Immigration and Legal Education Partnership.

On Oct. 31, ACILEP community volunteers confirmed the presence of ICE personnel at the Residence Inn by Marriott in Pleasanton and documented several vehicles associated with them, though ACILEP noted that this does not mean that any arrests took place. Five ICE vehicles were seen returning nightly to the hotel parking lot since Oct. 28, according to a report from The Independent News.
On Oct. 30, activists organized a noise demonstration called “No Sleep for ICE” where they brought pots and pans, musical instruments, and party noisemakers, according to The Independent. Pleasanton police were called, and told activists that they could continue protesting as long as they did not enter hotel private property.

ACILEP also confirmed ICE arrests near the Santa Rita Jail in Dublin on Oct. 25 and Oct. 30. The Department of Homeland Security confirmed the Oct. 25 arrest but declined to confirm or discuss the Livermore arrests, citing operational security and officer safety, according to Pleasanton Weekly.
“More recently, the Sheriff's Office has observed federal immigration enforcement take place outside of Santa Rita Jail,” the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office confirmed the arrests Sunday in a statement to CBS Bay Area. The sheriff’s office said that it does not assist ICE operations, and is exploring options to secure the jail area.
Patch reached out to ACILEP, ICE, and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office for more information.
ACILEP has reported ICE arrests in Oakland, Hayward, Union City, Emeryville and Orinda in recent weeks, and several more around the Bay Area.
A total of 28 arrests took place in Dublin, Pleasanton, and Livermore from October 2022 to July 2026, according to federal ICE data compiled by the Deportation Data Project and reviewed by Independent News. Those included 22 in Dublin, four in Livermore, and two in Pleasanton.
