>LOS ANGELES - Community leaders and loved ones of a local activist who was "abducted" by men at gunpoint in an unmarked car on her way to work in South Los Angeles are demanding information on her whereabouts.
What we know:
>Yuriana Juliana "Juli" Pelaez Calderon was detained on June 25.
>According to the family's lawyer with Immigrant Defenders Law Center, Calderon was taken at gunpoint by two men in unmarked cars. During a phone call, she was able to share with her family that she was not taken to a detention center or processed. Instead, she said she was taken to the border at San Ysidro, where she was presented with self-deportation paperwork.
>"But when Juli refused to sign the paperwork, when Juli demanded to see a judge, when Juli demanded to speak to an attorney, she was punished," the attorney said. "She was taken back to an unmarked van along with other travelers who were also insisting on their rights, and taken to a warehouse where she was only given water. A warehouse where she was not given food. A warehouse, where men and women were held together. A warehouse without any law enforcement employee, without any official there present," he added.
>Calderon told her family she is being held at the warehouse until she agrees to sign the voluntary self-deportation paperwork.
>Another attorney with IDLC said Calderon remains absent from the ICE locator. "We don't know where she is now, if she is in ICE custody or CBP custody, or in a warehouse held by vigilantes," he said. "But we do know that this is not how our country is supposed to function."
>The mother of three, who has lived in South Los Angeles for more than 20 years, is a member of the community organization Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment.
What we don't know:
>Calderon has since been able to make two phone calls to her family, but her whereabouts remain unknown.
