Commentary: Car wash workers already had it tough. Then immigration raids slammed them to the ground
"Every time I open my Facebook, the video of my husband's capture seems to come up."
"He says, 'If they deport me, will you go with me?' And I tell him, 'No, you're going to fight.'"
"Lo que necesiten."
Immigration agents executed raids at more than 100 car washes across Southern California, detaining over 340 workers and producing viral videos of armed, masked agents pursuing and piling on detained workers. One El Salvador native who narrowly escaped a previous raid was later arrested while en route to a lawyer's appointment, leaving identifying documents in the family car and prompting fear of retribution. Family members endure repeated exposure to arrest footage and agonize over deportation decisions, while community advocates and organizations offer assistance and support to affected workers and their families.
