US EditionImmigrant Rights Activists Call Out LAPD over Alleged Collaboration with ICE in Raids
- Immigrant rights activists protested Tuesday outside Los Angeles Police Department headquarters, accusing LAPD of collaborating with ICE during a raid downtown.
- The protest occurred following a federal immigration operation in the downtown area around 9th Street and South Spring, which was initiated after a 911 call reported an unidentified group detaining individuals.
- LAPD officers responded to the kidnapping report, stayed to control the crowd amid growing agitation, and assisted emergency vehicle access while federal agents took custody of detainees.
- Ron Gochez of Union del Barrio claimed in a video of the protest that LAPD officers shielded those carrying out what they described as abductions of community members, while the LAPD maintained that they do not engage in immigration enforcement.
- The incident underscores tensions over sanctuary city policies as immigrant advocates demand support and object to ICE actions, while LAPD insists it was not informed or involved in the federal operation.
