United States: Organising to Resist Mass Immigrant Raids
Los Angeles County has declared a state of emergency in response to ongoing immigration raids by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
Grassroots activists and communities are organizing to resist these raids, which have caused fear and desertion in many neighborhoods. The streets, usually bustling with taco trucks and flower vendors, now lay empty.
The Donald Trump administration's increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids has led to dozens of agents arriving in unmarked cars, wearing rifles and bulletproof vests, and sometimes ski masks. They often refuse to identify themselves, adding to the fear.
Undocumented workers are being handcuffed, thrown into rented vans, and taken away. As Jonathan Cannard notes, this has created a crisis in immigrant communities across the United States.
The streets lay empty and deserted; a scene that is now common in immigrant communities across the United States.
The community is coming together to resist these raids and support those affected.
