Tensions have escalated as President Trump pushes for mass deportation of undocumented immigrants, leading to protests and the deployment of National Guard troops to LA. Governor Newsom filed a lawsuit over Trump's actions, which a judge initially ruled as unconstitutional, but a Ninth Circuit Court reversed this decision. Advocacy groups emphasize the fear in immigrant communities and the need to amend practices that increase distrust in law enforcement. Recent legislative efforts are underway to curb these measures, reflecting a continued pushback against aggressive immigration enforcement policies.
Tensions between state residents and immigration enforcement have grown over the last few weeks as President Donald Trump continues his calls for the mass deportation of undocumented people.
Immigrant communities live in fear of one day being deported and never seeing their family members again, Velázquez said in a statement.
While we resist the threat of raids and mass deportations, it's equally important to curb actions that fuel distrust between law enforcement and immigrant communities, like ICE agents posing as local police officers.
The Trump administration has squarely taken aim at immigrant communities, Thompson said. We need to build an interest in passing something like this, and we're hopeful that we'll be able to do that.
