Tireless immigration raids change California’s lifestyle

When immigration agents came to the farm where he worked, Jaime Alanis tried to hide.

Ascending the roof of the greenhouse, while the agents gathered and arrested dozens of their employees from below, Mr. Alanis hoped to remain out of sight.

Then he fell.

The neck was broken and the skull was broken. He died later in the hospital.

Meanwhile, immigration agents fired tears into the crowd about 500 protesters who gathered to stop raids outside of two legal farms with cannabis. Some threw rocks and the FBI says One shot from a gun in federal agents.

The death of Mr. Alanis and the brutal clashes that occurred on these Cannabis farms are the last examples of how the region swept through southern California when immigration raids began to intensify in the region.

These repressions have caused protests that led to US President Donald Trump, who posted the US National Guard and the US Marines to protect federal officers from protesters and provide his mass deportations he had long.

While many Americans support President Trump’s fierce immigration policy, the relevance of raids in the region also caused a tough reaction from neighbors and activists. In South California, there are approximately 1.4 million undocumented immigrants, many of whom were forced to hide – too afraid to go to work, school or even in a grocery store.

By doing this, the raids changed the landscape of one of the most popular regions of the country. The enterprises are closed, cities have canceled events in society – including fireworks on July.

“Everyone looks at the shoulders,” says the Selling Seller in Los -Angeles on the recent Sunday, where usually crowded football fields and picnics were mostly deserted. When she prepared shaved ice with a sweet strawberry syrup, she seemed wary of the questions, but grateful to the client.

“It’s never,” she said.

Raids on two Cannabis farms are now considered as the largest immigration operation after President Trump has taken office.

Of the 361 migrants detained during these raids, four had “broad” criminal convictions, including rape, abduction and trial attempts, the media reported. Immigration staff also found 14 migrants who, according to the administration, were “rescued from potential exploitation, forced labor and trafficking.”

While the administration often covers convicted rapists, murderers and drug dealers, whom they arrested in operations, dozens of immigrants – many who have no criminal beliefs that have held decades, construction business, families and homes – were caught in crossroads.

“They just steal you,” says Carlos, who did not want his full name to be used in fear that he can be deported to his native Guatemala. He was too afraid to go to work since his sister Emma was detained while selling tacos outside the home depot last month. “When I’m brown when I am Spanish, they just come and catch you and get you.”

The Trump administration claims that people are aiming at the skin color, “disgusting” and false.

Carlos says it feels a little safer from the federal Judge in California ordered Trump administration to stop “Hesitantly” detains people with “patrols” federal agents. But he does not believe that they will stop and he needs to return to work.

“How I’m going to pay rent,” he says. “I’m stuck inside.”

Churches and immigrant rights are organized food delivery for hiding people. They also taught people to protect immigrants on the streets using applications, text networks and social media to warn people when there are federal agents.

When dozens of armed agents in camouflage descended on the macar on horses and armored vehicles earlier this month, few were surprised.

The word quickly spread from the operation – and the rumors spun that “La Migra” went for hours before the arrival of the troops. Dozens of participants of the rally were held to say hello to the troops – including Mayor La Karen bass, who demanded to leave the park.

Witnesses say the arrests were not carried out, and no one was seen to escape. By the time the troops arrived – with professional visual crews that recorded the obvious show forces – the only people in the park were participants of the rally, some children in the summer camp, and some homeless people sleeping in the grass.

“It was gutting in the intestine,” says Betsey Bolte, who lives near the park and appeared to protest and shout in obscenity to agents.

“This is a war against people – the heart and soul of the economy. And all this is intentionally. It’s part of the plan,” she said, crying, showing her footage journalists.

Activists accuse the government of terrorizing their own people.

“This is part of the Terror Program. From the Los -Angeles to the Central Coast, the Trump administration is armed with the federal government and the military against Californians,” says the cause of the propaganda group.

But not all Californians agree.

In November, President Trump won 38% of the ballots. Recently, BBC introduced a story about one woman Which is still devoted to the president and his mass deportation, even if it is closed as an illegal immigrant.

And last week, a supporter of Lone Trump appeared at a protest on the Cannabis farm, only to be beaten and thrown and spat.

Perhaps, in irony, the architect of many deportation policies of President Trump himself is Angelen. White House Senior Assistant Stephen Miller was raised in a Liberal Santa -Monica, where he was known for conservative radio for condemning the use of Spanish at his school even in his teens.

This week, he told Fox News that “fierce” Democratic politicians in California, who protest, are inciting violence against federal immigration agents.

“No city can help and stop the invasion of this country from the will of the American people and law enforcement agencies that make it possible to accept the will of American people,” he said.

President Trump’s “border king” Tom Homan says Los -Angeles is guilty, since the laws on the luminaries of La -Sanking prevent local law enforcement agencies to cooperate with immigration agents where they can delay immigrants on the public eye.

“We are going to double, triple down the cities of the sanctuary,” Mr. Homan said to journalists, adding that they do not have such open public raids in Florida, as all sheriffs there are imprisoned by immigrants to detain immigrants.

“If they don’t let us arrest a bad guy in the county, they are going to arrest them in society. We will arrest them in the workplace.”

In the Los -Andeles, the influence of the moon raids is noticeable. In parks and neighborhoods, which are once fussing buyers, on foot, music and street sellers, the lack of acquaintances are horrible.

There are 88 cities in Los -Andge County, and many have canceled public summer activities with permanent immigration protection.

“Many residents have expressed fear and uncertainty, forcing them to remain indoors, refrain from working and abandoning daily public life,” Khantington said in a statement of the canceled events. “Our priority is still the safety and peace of mind of our community.

Now some immigrants are afraid to apply for the planned hearings because they are detained by the court.

Pastor of Ara Tarasia from Cornerstone Church in Western Los -Angeles said that the main part of his Persian Congregers were the asylum seekers. One couple with a three -year -old daughter was detained outside the trial when they appeared for the fact that, in their opinion, it was a “ordinary” hearing. Now they are in Texas in the family detention center.

In June, five members of his congregation were detained – two of them on the street when the pastor Tarasia was shot and asked the agents to stop.

“It’s not a criminal,” he said. “They obeyed everyone without hiding anything.”
