US EditionHarbor-Area Leaders Call for End of ICE Use of Terminal Island
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, JUL 11 – Local officials and community groups condemn ICE raids staged from Terminal Island, citing historical injustices and a surge in enforcement actions that disrupt immigrant families.
- On June 27, Japanese American community members and residents from the Los Angeles Harbor area assembled at the memorial honoring the historic Japanese settlement on Terminal Island to protest the federal government's use of the site for immigration enforcement operations.
- This event followed federal immigration operations starting June 6, with officials calling to end Terminal Island's use as a staging ground amid ongoing ICE raids targeting communities.
- Community leaders and activists highlighted ICE agents conducting masked, armed raids while groups like Harbor Area Peace Patrols educate residents on their rights and monitor enforcement activity.
- ICEBlock, a free app developed by Joshua Aaron with over 240,000 users, warns residents of nearby ICE operations but cautions against interfering or inciting violence, while facing legal threats.
- The gatherings and legal actions, including a class-action lawsuit led by the ACLU, reflect strong opposition to the raids and suggest continuing debate over immigration enforcement and community impact.
