A sweeping immigration crackdown in Southern California has triggered widespread fear and fury. Over 100 workers — including legal residents — have been detained in surprise ICE raids across LA’s fashion district and Home Depot lots. Families are now left searching for answers. Protests have erupted citywide, with demonstrators blocking highways and clashing with law enforcement. President Trump has deployed National Guard troops and Marines to the LA area, escalating tensions further. Mayor Karen Bass has condemned the raids as an intimidation tactic targeting LA’s vast immigrant community — nearly a million of whom lack legal status. What does this mean for immigrant rights in America?

00:00If some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.
00:08I've never seen this in my life, maybe since pandemic or COVID.
00:12The videos of what ICE has been doing to immigrant families and then the response to people's lives being destroyed by ICE.
00:30If some of us could be snatched off the streets without a warrant based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.
00:58Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves, but they do not stop there.
01:06California may be first, but it clearly will not end here.
01:09Other states are next.
01:11Democracy is next.
01:13Democracy is under assault before our eyes.
01:17This moment we have feared has arrived.
01:19The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of dawn.
01:24The founding fathers, they didn't live and die to see this kind of moment.
01:29It's time for all of us to stand up.
01:31We're proud to stand here with the mayors, the leadership of so many cities, but you should
01:59take note that the individuals that are here with me today are all leaders in their area,
02:04and we all stand in support and solidarity and call for the raids to end.
02:10We all stand in support and fight against them.
02:23We all stand in support and fight against them, and we all stand out, and we all stand out.
02:30It's been really a crazy time out, as you can see there's like cars are burnt and a lot of things that just going on right now that's just unbelievable. I've never seen this in my life, maybe since pandemic with COVID.
03:00Broken system! Release our men, women, and children! Release our men!
03:14Don't touch me. Don't touch me.
03:18So!
03:20I mean, if you've seen the videos of what ICE has been doing to immigrant families and then the response to people's lives being destroyed by ICE, I think it's warranted that there's going to be a violent reaction to it. You're destroying people's lives.
03:42And to see Trump sending the National Guard without the advice of the governor, I think is a flagrant disregarding of state's rights.
03:54And I think it's very dangerous that he's using this as an excuse to militarize police forces.
