US EditionDemocratic National Committee Chair Hears About Impacts of LA Immigration Raids
CALIFORNIA, JUL 30 – Immigration raids led to a 22% rise in student absences and a 3.1% drop in California's workforce, with economic losses projected up to $278 billion, researchers found.
- Ken Martin, the leader of the Democratic National Committee, convened with local residents in Los Angeles on July 30, 2025, to examine how recent immigration enforcement actions have affected immigrant populations.
- Since early June, the Trump administration’s immigration sweeps in Los Angeles have led to mass deportations and widespread fear that disrupted local economies and communities.
- The raids caused some L.A. neighborhoods to become ghost towns with shuttered businesses, fewer customers, and a 3.1% drop in private-sector work attendance, especially among noncitizen women.
- A June report found 2.28 million undocumented immigrants in California generate nearly 5% of the state's GDP and pay $23 billion annually in taxes, while experts warn that ongoing raids could cause up to $278 billion in economic losses.
- Participants emphasized the need for business leaders to advocate for undocumented workers, and Martin pledged to continue visiting Los Angeles due to its central role in national immigration issues.
