LACo Board OKs Local Emergency Proclamation Due to Immigration Raids
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors declared a local state of emergency on Tuesday, Oct. 14, in response to ongoing federal immigration enforcement raids.
These raids are allegedly preventing people from going to work and forcing some businesses to close. Car washes now have signs up announcing they are currently hiring as workers are now reluctant to seek jobs at locations that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has targeted.
The San Fernando Valley was hit hard by ICE agents, with 15 people arrested at the Home Depot in Woodland Hills on Victory Boulevard at 10:40 a.m. on the 13th. At about the same time, several ICE agents also targeted the Home Depot on Foothill and Arroyo in the City of San Fernando.
