United States: Organising to Resist Mass Immigrant Raids
Los Angeles County has voted to declare a state of emergency in response to ongoing immigration raids by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.
According to reports, many Los Angeles neighbourhoods, usually bustling with activity, now lay empty and deserted due to the increased raids. This scene is becoming common in immigrant communities across the United States.
The cause of this desertion is the dramatic increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids under the Donald Trump administration. Dozens of agents arrive in unmarked cars, wearing rifles and bulletproof vests, and increasingly, ski masks. They often refuse to identify themselves, adding to the fear elicited by their raids.
