WESTSIDESTORY NEWSPAPER

California Is Fighting Back: State Leaders and Community Activists Resist Stepped-Up Immigration Raids said Bass.

By Charlene Muhammad California Black Media Elected officials and grassroots organization leaders are speaking out against recent federal immigration raids they are calling "immoral," and pledging their support for immigrants impacted by the intensified enforcement efforts in Los Angeles and across Cali- fornia.

On July 7, approximately 90 armed federal agents, National Guard troops and Border Patrol officers swarmed MacArthur Park -- regarded by many as the heart of L.A.'s immigrant community.

Mayor Karen Bass was on the scene.

"The Administration is treating Los Angeles as a test case for how far it can go in driving its political agenda forward while pushing the Constitution aside,"

"The City of Los Angeles, along with the Coun- ty, cities, organizations and Angelenos across L.A., is taking the Administration to court to stop its clear violation of the United States Constitution and federal law," the mayor continued. "We will not be intimi- dated we are making Los Angeles the example of how people who believe in American values will stand together and stand united."

Gov. Gavin Newsom also spoke about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent actions in L.A. "What a disgrace, what's happening in MacArthur Park. What theatre," said Gov. Gavin Newsom, in re- sponse.

"To those that feel torn asunder by everything that's happened over the last six months, I want folks to know we have your back and we'll continue to come back and do what we can to protect our diverse com- munities, to protect the spirit that defines the best of this city and our state and to push back against this cruelty, that has been perpetuated by the President of the United States," said Newsom, speaking at a press conference on July 7 marking the 6-month anniver- sary of the devastating wildfires in L.A. County.

California is home to over 11 million immigrants; Almost half of all Californian children have at least one immigrant parent; Immigrants comprise one-third of the state's workforce and account for 40.3% of en- trepreneurs; and immigrant households contributed $61.8 billion in state and local taxes in 2023, accord- ing to Newsom's office.
