Several armed men who identified themselves as agents of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) attempted to enter an immigration law firm in Sacramento.
The incident occurred Friday morning at the building where Morris Law Group is located in North Natomas.
The men did not present a court order, and after being rebuffed by staff, they warned that they could return during the early morning hours.
One of them allegedly mentioned specifically 3 a.m. and the possibility of breaking windows to gain entry to the premises.
Why it matters: Morris Law Group represents over 2,000 clients in immigration matters, including asylum seekers and victims of crimes.

The men arrived in at least four unmarked vehicles with tinted windows at the building where the law firm is located.
One of them was armed and wore an Immigration and Customs Enforcement badge.
The man entered the lobby and requested to speak with an office manager, according to Univision.
Employees of the law firm and the dental clinic located next to the office confirmed the incident.

An employee later explained that the man was requesting to inspect the office to verify if there were beds on the premises.
Morris immediately instructed her staff to respond that no one could enter without a search warrant.
According to Morris, the man replied that they had a list from Washington related to the building’s address.
The address allegedly appeared as the primary mailing address for multiple individuals.
The men said they wanted to tour the facilities to ensure there were no beds for clients who were seeking them.
The staff maintained their position and reiterated that they would not allow entry without a search warrant.
They Warned They Could Return at 3 a.m.
The situation increased concern when one of the men spoke about the possibility of returning to the building later.
According to Morris, the man indicated that if they received additional orders, they could return around 3 a.m.
He also allegedly mentioned that they could break windows to enter and search for individuals associated with the address.
The lawyer added that one of the men claimed he did not want to return during the early morning hours and enter by force.
The men stayed at the location for approximately one hour.
Daniel Azurduy, a dentist and building administrator, later arrived and questioned their presence on the property.
Azurduy told them that without a warrant, they were trespassing on private property and threatened to call the police.
The men withdrew shortly after.
Azurduy stated that he felt frustrated by the lack of transparency in law enforcement, according to The Sacramento Bee.
The newspaper reported at least four black unmarked vehicles in the parking lot.
It also reported a man seen from behind, dressed in a plaid shirt and cap, without a uniform.
