Protests have erupted in Los Angeles due to an increase in ICE raids targeting undocumented workers in restaurants and farms. Following significant backlash from affected industries, the Trump administration advised pausing arrests in sectors crucial to the workforce. With a significant percentage of food service and farm laborers being immigrants, local businesses are feeling the impact of aggressive raids. The San Diego raids have amplified fears within the community, leading to public outcry over the methods used by ICE and the potential void left in labor forces.
"Federal actions like these are billed as a public safety measure, but it had the complete opposite effect. What we saw undermines trust and creates fear in our community."
"Trump administration reportedly instructed agents to pause arrests at restaurants, farms, and hotels, following complaints from farmers and hotel workers about employee shortages."
