In the last two weeks, ICE enforcement has been reported in various regions of LA and Orange Counties, including Macarthur Park, DTLA, Lincoln Heights, Boyle Heights, South Gate, Exposition Park, Pomona, Huntington Beach, Fullerton, and Garden Grove. The Trump administration has initiated its unconscionable plan to remove millions of immigrants living throughout our nation, employing aggressive ICE enforcement tactics targeting our homes, our workplaces, and public spaces.
Now is the time to get prepared, stay vigilant and fight for your rights. Be aware that immigration agents may drive vehicles or wear uniforms that say “POLICE” but are not actually local law enforcement. They may present a sham warrant that is not signed by a magistrate judge. They may also aggressively pressure you to open your door, follow them, or give them information. Do not be fearful or forget about your Constitutional rights. You must stay diligent, protect yourselves, your families, and stay prepared.
