US EditionSouthland ICE Raids Continue Targeting Workers In LA County
DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES, JUN 19 – Faith groups including Christian, Muslim, and Jewish leaders called for an end to ICE raids that have detained over 300 people and disrupted immigrant communities in Los Angeles.
- Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents conducted raids across Los Angeles County on Tuesday and Wednesday, detaining at least six day laborers in Pasadena and several more in Pico Rivera, including two men at a bus stop.
- The raids followed ongoing enforcement actions since June 6, part of the Trump administration's sustained immigration policy, while legal challenges to the federalization of California's National Guard remain pending.
- These raids sparked protests and interfaith marches involving multiple religious groups who called for an end to the raids, laid flowers to honor detainees, and expressed concern over community trauma and intimidation.
- Elected officials such as Representative Judy Chu and the chair of the Metro Board of Directors, Janice Hahn, condemned the raids for their disorganized and frightening nature, highlighting concerns about ICE agents frequently not showing warrants and employing harsh methods, while local government agencies reiterated that they were not participating in immigration enforcement efforts.
- The raids have generated widespread fear among residents, causing people to avoid schools, churches, and workplaces, and prompting calls for accountability, protection of due process, and support for affected families in the community.
