Recent federal raids on immigrant workers in Southern California have sparked significant protests and fear in local immigrant communities. Demonstrations erupted after over 100 arrests by ICE in Los Angeles, leading to clashes between protesters and federal agents. In response, President Trump deployed National Guard troops, triggering criticism from California's governor and mayor. Local groups are organizing community events to support affected individuals, while many fear potential upcoming roundups in Alameda County. Activists emphasize the need for solidarity and action against these federal measures.
"The wave of Southern California arrests have stoked fear among immigrant communities," said Valeria Ochoa, organizer with Faith in Action East Bay.
"President Trump responded by deploying thousands of National Guard troops and Marines, moves … met with pushback by Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass."
