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 fear of raids. This scene is becoming increasingly common in immigrant communities across the United States.
The cause of this desertion is the Donald Trump administration's dramatic increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Dozens of agents arrive in unmarked cars, wearing rifles and bulletproof vests, and increasingly, ski masks. They often refuse to display badges or identify themselves, adding to the fear elicited by their raids.
Undocumented workers are being handcuffed, thrown into rented vans, and whisked away. Grassroots activists and communities are organizing to resist these mass immigrant raids.
Behind this desertion is the Donald Trump administration’s dramatic increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.
