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 created a climate of fear in immigrant communities across the United States.
In many Los Angeles neighborhoods, streets are now empty and deserted, a scene that is becoming increasingly common.
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 with rifles and bulletproof vests.
- They often wear ski masks, do not display badges, and refuse to identify themselves, adding to the fear elicited by their raids.
- Undocumented workers are handcuffed, thrown into rented vans, and whisked away.
The raids have created a scene of fear and desertion in immigrant communities.
