The article sheds light on the ongoing tensions between the Trump Administration and California, particularly focusing on recent deportation raids in Santa Ana. While much attention has been paid to protests in downtown Los Angeles, E. Tammy Kim reports from outside a federal building in Santa Ana, where a smaller yet potent gathering of protesters, predominantly Latino, rallied in response to DHS raids. The presence of federal agents and the community's deep immigrant ties illustrate the local impact of national policies and the urgency felt by residents amidst escalating tensions.
Around lunchtime, I heard about raids in Santa Ana. A few hundred protesters were assembled outside a federal building, holding signs and chanting.
It was much smaller, of course. Also much more Latino—more than three-fourths of Santa Ana's population is Latino... nearly everyone in this area has immigrants among their family and friends.
