LA situation 'not normal', says striker Ebobisse
Briefly

LAFC striker Jeremy Ebobisse has publicly supported protests against President Trump's deportation policies, highlighting the current unrest in Los Angeles due to immigration raids by ICE. Over the past week, more than 100 immigrants have been arrested, prompting a significant police response with the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops. At a recent MLS match, LAFC supporters displayed an 'Abolish ICE' banner and participated in a silent protest. Ebobisse expressed his emotional response to the situation, stressing the importance of community solidarity in facing injustice.
This has been a difficult moment for the city of LA. I live downtown and I've been seeing and hearing everything that's going on. It breaks the heart to see the callous movements that we're seeing in our streets.
We're a community, we stand by each other. It's important that in these difficult moments, we reaffirm that and don't back into our corners and be scared because solidarity is the only way through this.
