Summary
Fresno City Council candidate Rob Fuentes is facing backlash for his role as a federal attorney handling over 100 immigration cases for ICE — despite publicly calling for the agency’s abolition. While Fuentes claims his involvement is minimal and vows to resign if he can’t do good, court records and fellow attorneys suggest a more substantial role, including a high-profile case involving a detained father. His opponent, Naindeep Singh, is seizing on the contradiction, accusing Fuentes of siding with the administration against immigrant families — a stance Singh says puts Fresno on the wrong side of justice. As voters head to the polls in November, this clash over civil rights, federal loyalty, and who truly represents Fresno’s residents is shaping up to be the defining issue in the District 1 race.
