Los Angeles: Thousands Denounce ICE Raids in July 4 Protest

from #WorldOutlook
July 5, 2025

"The article below first appeared in the #LosAngeles Times on July 5, 2025. The protest the article describes was a fitting way to mark #US Independence Day, given the #Trump administration’s intensified workplace raids and #deportations of undocumented #immigrants. L.A. has been the epicenter of many such protests over the last month since the White House picked the city to launch its aggressive dragnet, carried out by Immigration and Customs Enforcement #(ICE) agents, targeting millions of workers across the country.

As a recent article published by the #WashingtonPost revealed, ICE arrests have more than doubled since Trump took office in January, compared to the same period last year."

From Mark Friedman in Los Angeles writing about a Cuban solidarity event in LA ------

Dayren Santamaria is a Cuban grammy award-winning concert violinist played for us May 30 at the Machinists Union hall, where the LA Hands-Off Cuba committee hosted two diplomats from the Cuban embassy.

A successful meeting of 60+ marked new advances in Cuba solidarity work, including the medical aid campaigns.

A Missouri Town Was Solidly Behind Trump. Then Carol Was Detained.

For 20 years, Carol Hui has served waffles, raised her children and embraced the small town of Kennett, Mo. Her detention and pending deportation to Hong Kong has hit the community hard.

This is a #graphic that I came up with a few years ago. It has the slogan in 7 languages: #Spanish, #Arabic, #Hebrew, #English, #Esperanto, #Farsi, and #French.

I just had a vendor on Etsy make me a few #tshirts with it, and if you want one for yourself let me know. (I don't make or sell them, only the vendor does.)

"Veronika Cohen, 80, a #Holocaust survivor who was born in the ghetto in Budapest, said she had come to protest outside Yad Vashem on the day of remembrance because: “I don’t think we can remember our suffering without acknowledging the suffering of #Gaza, the deaths of tens of thousands of children, the starvation that’s going on this minute, for which we are partially responsible. It occupies the same place in my heart.”"
