United States: Organising to Resist Mass Immigrant Raids

Los Angeles County has declared a state of emergency in response to ongoing immigration raids by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents.

Grassroots activists and communities are organizing to resist these raids, which have become increasingly common in immigrant communities across the United States.

In many Los Angeles neighborhoods, streets that are usually bustling with activity are now empty and deserted due to the fear elicited by the raids.

The Donald Trump administration’s dramatic increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids has led to dozens of agents arriving in unmarked cars with rifles and bulletproof vests.

These agents often wear ski masks, do not display badges, and refuse to identify themselves, adding to the fear and uncertainty of the raids.

Undocumented workers are being handcuffed, thrown into rented vans, and whisked away, leaving communities in a state of crisis.
