LACo Board Declares Local Emergency Due to Immigration Raids
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency on October 14, in response to ongoing federal immigration enforcement raids.
These raids are allegedly preventing people from going to work and forcing some businesses to close. Car washes are now hiring, as workers are reluctant to seek jobs at locations targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
- On October 13, 15 people were arrested by ICE agents at the Home Depot in Woodland Hills.
- ICE agents also targeted the Home Depot on Foothill and Arroyo in the City of San Fernando.
