"Never have I seen this level of catastrophic damage, said Salas. Fires across the LA region had killed at least 25 people and displaced more than 100,000."
"Our neighborhoods look like a bomb landed on them. It's just horrific. In recent years, mega-fires have repeatedly upended the lives of immigrant workers across the state."
"Undocumented immigrants are especially vulnerable, and largely ineligible for federal disaster aid. Many have lost work as well as their homes, said Salas."
"I cannot begin to describe the horror. We had a hurricane of embers coming down on our community, Salas said. And at the same time people were hearing about these raids."
