On July 4th, hundreds protested in downtown Los Angeles against immigration raids and increased federal funding to support them. Lawrence Herrera expressed concerns over his safety amid President Trump's immigration policies and carried his birth certificate. The event featured various costumes, including Erica Ortiz dressed as Lady Liberty in chains. Protesters chanted against deportation. Jacob Moreno described the atmosphere as solemn, highlighting the serious implications of the recent budget bill.
Erica Ortiz, dressed as Lady Liberty in shackles, emphasized, "Guess what? We have no independence right now; that’s why we’re out here."
Jacob Moreno held a sign proclaiming the day a "funeral for the freedom we pretend" still exists, reflecting the somber mood of the protest.
