Immigrant rights activists vow to disrupt ICE raids in California
Briefly

In response to fears of imminent immigration enforcement operations in Southern California, a coalition of approximately 60 left-leaning organizations has declared their intention to disrupt these activities. Led by Ron Gochez from Union del Barrio, these groups plan to gather and surround targeted locations during enforcement actions. They aim to protect immigrants from potential raids by the Trump administration, which has intensified its hardline stance on immigration. The coalition's efforts highlight growing resistance within communities amid concerns over large-scale deportations and the safety of undocumented individuals.
"If it's an apartment, a church, or building whatever it may be, we will call people to surround the place and stop them," said Ron Gochez.
"They are not the only ones working right now. We are working our community for self-defense," Gochez said, emphasizing the coalition's proactive stance.
