LOS ANGELES, Calif. — Los Angeles County Supervisor Holly J. Mitchell provided the following statement on today’s immigration protests following ICE raids is Los Angeles County:
“The escalated and targeted attacks on the fundamental rights of immigrant communities has forced this public cry for justice. People have a right to peacefully protest the violation of rights, denial of due process, and wrongful deportations. The Trump administration taking over the National Guard is an unnecessary intimidation tactic that further hurts public trust. My office is in contact with our Sheriff department that is on-site at Paramount and throughout the county to protect the right to peacefully protest. I am asking anyone who has taken to the streets to make their voice heard to do so peacefully because the real message is that our residents have had enough.”
