"Just because we're standing here waiting for work," said one of the day laborers in Spanish.
"They were in different areas of the corridor, giving tickets," Magaña said. "They were workers waiting for their ride to work, or waiting to see if anyone will hire them."
Magaña believes that, with the recent immigration enforcement operations across California and the country, these tickets are targeted.
Magaña is now calling on the city to find a solution for those who just want to work.
Stockton Councilmember Brando Villapudua said in a statement that they were aware of the situation.
Along with loitering, police say one man was also cited for public urination.
Magaña says the day laborers cited now fear, if they cannot pay their ticket, they will have a criminal record and therefore be a target for immigration raids.
