/Sounds like "reh" (as in "red") + "DAH" (as in "dart") + "dah" (as in "dart")/

Meaning

An immigration enforcement raid targeting undocumented people at a workplace, home, or public area in the US. In Latino neighborhoods, the word alone is enough for everyone to rush inside.

People are scared to go out because there's a rumor of a raid.

Regional synonyms

In Argentina, a large container or trash bin. It could be an industrial bucket, a paint can, or the garbage bin on the sidewalk. Basically any big, round container you toss stuff into.
