Large Anti-ICE Protest and March Held in MacArthur Park During Daylong 'Community Stoppage'
Protesters demand an end to federal raids and the release of detainees amid ICE detentions of about 3,000 immigrants in California, officials said.
- A large group of laborers, activists, and supporters of immigrant rights participated in a daylong demonstration and march at MacArthur Park in Los Angeles on Tuesday to protest immigration enforcement actions.
- The demonstrations were sparked by a series of immigration enforcement actions starting in early June, including a June 6 raid at a garment warehouse where ICE agents apprehended Yurien Contreras’s father.
- Protesters claimed they are targeted for arrest for exercising free speech and said arrests outside detention centers are unwarranted, while organizers called for economic boycotts of large retailers.
- DHS officials said their goal is enforcing immigration laws and pursuing Title 8 immigration statuses, while authorities arrested over a dozen protesters and used city ordinances to clear camps.
- The protests reflect sustained opposition to the largest planned deportation in U.S. history and ongoing fear and anxiety among immigrant communities in Los Angeles.

What LA immigration raids left behind: Empty spaces and a city on edge
There’s a certain beauty in the notes not played. An entire symphony, if you’re listening. The cars not backfiring. The sirens not wailing. The fireworks not erupting in sonic booms that bounce off hills and peal across valleys. This is the consequence of the largest planned deportation in American history. The Trump administration’s goal is to make life as unnavigable, unstable and uncomfortable as possible for people in the country illegally.…
