Arturo Flores, mayor of Huntington Park, is alarmed by the actions of federal agents detaining immigrants and conducting operations in his city. These events resemble psychological warfare he experienced during military service. Huntington Park has a population that is predominantly Latino, with many residents being undocumented. This crackdown has instilled fear among locals, both citizens and immigrants alike. Local officials and the governor oppose the federal deployment, highlighting a breakdown in communication and trust between federal officers and the community they are meant to serve.
"A campaign of domestic terror that is being imposed on our residents on a daily basis, Flores said. It is a level of psychological warfare that I've only seen in theaters of war."
"A third of all LA residents were born outside of the United States, and nearly half of the region's residents are Latino. An estimated 1 million of LA county's 10 million residents are undocumented."
